XSZ7045 0.5X C-mount Stereo Microscope Adapter
The XSZ7045 0.5X C-mount adapter connects a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 0.5X magnification reduction.

Product Overview
The XSZ7045 0.5X C-mount adapter connects a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 0.5X magnification reduction. It fits standard 25.4mm diameter microscope tubes and allows a camera to be mounted directly on the microscope head. The adapter maintains the optical alignment and enables digital imaging from a stereo microscope without altering the microscope's focus or working distance.
- Magnification0.5X
- Optical elementsNone
- MaterialMetal
- Adapter typeMechanical only, no optical correction
Key Benefits
- Reduces image magnification by 0.5X to match the camera sensor size and field of view
- Mounts directly to a 25.4mm diameter microscope tube with no additional hardware
- Preserves the microscope's working distance and focus settings when the camera is attached
- Enables digital imaging from a stereo microscope without requiring a separate camera body
- Supports C-mount cameras with 16mm to 25mm sensor size for compatibility with common industrial and inspection cameras
Application Scenarios
- Attaching a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope for automated inspection and documentation
- Integrating a digital imaging system into a benchtop inspection station without modifying the microscope
- Using a high-resolution C-mount camera with a stereo microscope for quality control in electronics rework
- Connecting a machine vision camera to a stereo microscope for real-time image capture during precision assembly
- Adding digital recording to a teaching microscope for live demonstration and video documentation
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers using stereo microscopes for PCB and SMD inspection
- Laboratories requiring digital image capture for quality reports and records
- Educational institutions using stereo microscopes for teaching and demonstration
- Precision assembly workshops needing to document micro-level work
- Quality control teams integrating machine vision systems into manual inspection workflows
Problems It Solves
- A stereo microscope without a camera requires a separate imaging system that may not match the optical axis
- C-mount cameras without an adapter cannot be mounted directly on a standard microscope tube
- Incorrect magnification reduction leads to image cropping or sensor underutilization
- Mounting a camera alters the microscope's focus or working distance, disrupting the inspection process
- Lack of a standard interface forces custom fabrication or unreliable clamps
Technical Features
- 0.5X magnification reduction to match C-mount camera sensor size
- 25.4mm diameter mounting ring for standard stereo microscope tubes
- C-mount thread (1 inch x 32 TPI) for direct camera attachment
- Precision machined metal body with no optical elements to avoid image distortion
- Flat mounting surface ensures alignment with the microscope's optical axis
- No internal optics or lenses; the adapter is purely mechanical
- Designed for use with stereo microscopes that have a 25.4mm diameter tube

- No custom thread or size options provided in the source text
- No surface treatment or color options mentioned
Comparison With Other Options
| C-mount adapter with 1X magnification | The 0.5X adapter reduces image size, which increases the field of view and allows larger sensors to be used without cropping; the 1X adapter preserves magnification but may limit sensor use. |
|---|---|
| C-mount adapter with 0.35X magnification | The 0.5X adapter provides less magnification reduction, so the image is larger on the sensor; choose based on the camera sensor size and desired field of view. |
| Universal camera adapter with rubber grip | The XSZ7045 is a rigid, precision-machined metal adapter; it maintains alignment and does not flex or shift during use, unlike rubber-grip adapters. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope tube diameter is 25.4mm before mounting the adapter
- Align the adapter with the microscope's optical axis before tightening the mounting screw
- Attach the C-mount camera to the adapter using the standard 1" x 32 TPI thread
- Do not over-tighten the mounting screw to avoid damaging the tube or adapter
- Verify that the camera image is centered and in focus after mounting

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the magnification reduction of this adapter?
0.5X. It reduces the image size by half to match the camera sensor size.
Can I use this adapter with a microscope that has a 20mm tube?
No. The adapter is designed for a 25.4mm diameter tube. A different adapter would be needed for a 20mm tube.
Does this adapter have any optical elements?
No. It is a purely mechanical adapter with no lenses or optical correction.
What camera sensors are compatible with this adapter?
C-mount cameras with sensor sizes from 16mm to 25mm are compatible.
Does the adapter affect the microscope's focus?
No. The adapter is mechanical and does not alter the focus or working distance of the microscope.
Is the adapter reusable with different microscopes?
Yes. As long as the microscope tube is 25.4mm in diameter, the adapter can be transferred between instruments.
