XSZ7045 0.3X C-mount Stereo Microscope Adapter

The XSZ7045 0.3X C-mount adapter fits directly onto the C-mount port of a stereo microscope head, reducing the effective magnification by 0.3X.

Product Overview

The XSZ7045 0.3X C-mount adapter fits directly onto the C-mount port of a stereo microscope head, reducing the effective magnification by 0.3X. It allows a C-mount camera to be mounted on a stereo microscope with a 1X objective, extending the working distance and enabling digital imaging without altering the optical path of the microscope itself.

  • Adapter typeC-mount
  • Magnification reduction0.3X
  • CompatibilityStereo microscope heads with C-mount port
  • Optical elementsNone
  • MaterialMetal
  • Thread typeC-mount standard

Key Benefits

  • Reduces magnification by 0.3X when mounted on a stereo microscope with a 1X objective
  • Enables C-mount camera attachment on stereo microscope heads with no built-in camera
  • Maintains the original optical path and working distance of the microscope
  • Provides a stable, precision-machined interface for camera integration
  • Supports digital imaging without modifying the microscope's optical system

Application Scenarios

  • Mounting a C-mount camera on a stereo microscope for digital inspection and documentation
  • Extending the working distance in a rework station by reducing magnification
  • Integrating a digital imaging chain into a stereo microscope used for quality control
  • Using a C-mount camera with a stereo microscope for process monitoring in a production line
  • Adding digital capture capability to a stereo microscope without replacing the head

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Quality departments requiring image capture for inspection records
  • Teaching labs using stereo microscopes for demonstration and documentation
  • Precision assembly workshops needing digital imaging for audit trails
  • Research labs integrating C-mount cameras into stereo microscopes for long-term observation

Problems It Solves

  • A stereo microscope without a C-mount port cannot accept a C-mount camera directly
  • Using a non-matching adapter can cause misalignment or image distortion
  • Mounting a camera without a proper adapter may reduce working distance or damage the head
  • Lack of a 0.3X reduction adapter forces the use of higher magnification objectives for wider field
  • Separate camera and microscope integration often fails due to mismatched thread or flange

Technical Features

  • Designed for stereo microscope heads with a C-mount port
  • 0.3X magnification reduction when used with a 1X objective
  • Precision-machined metal body with consistent thread and flange alignment
  • No optical elements; purely mechanical adapter
  • Compatible with standard C-mount cameras (C-mount thread, 1mm flange focal distance)

Comparison With Other Options

No adapter, using a C-mount camera directly on a stereo microscope headWithout the XSZ7045 adapter, a C-mount camera cannot be mounted on a stereo microscope head with a C-mount port due to mismatched thread or flange depth.
Using a 0.5X or 1X adapter insteadThe 0.3X adapter provides a greater reduction in magnification than 0.5X or 1X options, increasing the field of view and working distance for larger components.
A C-mount to 1X objective adapterThe XSZ7045 is a mechanical adapter only; it does not include an objective lens, so it does not alter the optical path or focus, unlike objective adapters.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the stereo microscope head has a C-mount port before installing the adapter
  • Screw the adapter onto the C-mount port until fully seated, but do not overtighten
  • Attach the C-mount camera to the adapter and secure it with the retaining ring
  • Verify the camera is aligned with the optical axis to avoid image offset
  • Use the adapter only with C-mount cameras that have a 1mm flange focal distance
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the magnification reduction when using this adapter?

0.3X when used with a 1X objective on a stereo microscope.

Can I use this adapter on any stereo microscope?

Only on stereo microscope heads that have a C-mount port. Check the head model before ordering.

Does this adapter include an optical element?

No. It is a purely mechanical adapter with no lenses or optical components.

What camera types are compatible?

Standard C-mount cameras with a 1mm flange focal distance. Confirm camera specs before purchase.

Will this adapter affect the working distance?

No. The adapter does not alter the optical path or working distance of the microscope.

Can I use this adapter with a 0.5X or 1X objective?

Yes. The 0.3X reduction applies regardless of objective, but the effective magnification depends on the objective used.
