XSZ7045 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter
The XSZ7045 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a phototube port.

Product Overview
The XSZ7045 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a phototube port. It allows a USB2.0 or C-mount camera to be mounted directly on the microscope's phototube, so the image from the microscope's optical path is captured without altering the viewing path. The adapter fits standard 23mm phototube ports and supports cameras with a 23mm flange or C-mount interface.
- Mounting typeDirect fit on phototube
- Optical pathUninterrupted for eyepiece viewing
- MaterialAluminium alloy
- Surface finishAnodized black
Key Benefits
- Mounts a digital camera directly on the phototube port without blocking the eyepiece view
- Preserves the original optical path for binocular or trinocular observation
- Supports both USB2.0 and C-mount cameras with a 23mm flange interface
- Enables image capture and live viewing from the same optical system
- No need to modify the microscope body or remove the phototube for camera attachment
Application Scenarios
- Capturing images of solder joints or component placements during SMD rework with a live camera feed
- Documenting micro-assembly steps in watchmaking or jewellery work using a camera mounted on the phototube
- Recording inspection results in a quality lab where both visual and digital records are required
- Using a digital camera for teaching demonstrations without interrupting the instructor's view
- Connecting a camera to a stereo microscope for video documentation in a university lab
Who It Is For
- Electronics rework and inspection teams needing image documentation
- Teaching labs requiring visual and digital records of experiments
- Quality control departments that must attach photographs to inspection reports
- Precision assembly workshops in jewellery, watchmaking and micro-mechanics
- Research labs using stereo microscopes for long-term observation and capture
Problems It Solves
- A camera mounted on the eyepiece blocks the operator's view and prevents simultaneous observation
- Using a separate camera stand or clamp introduces misalignment and vibration
- Lack of a standard interface forces custom adapters or compromises in image quality
- Phototube ports are not compatible with standard camera flanges without an adapter
- Camera mounting on the microscope body requires disassembly or permanent modification
Technical Features
- Designed for stereo microscopes with a 23mm phototube port
- Supports cameras with 23mm flange or C-mount interface
- Maintains the original optical path for binocular or trinocular viewing
- No internal optics; purely a mechanical adapter
- Compatible with USB2.0 CMOS and C-mount CCD cameras
- No power or signal conversion; the camera operates independently

Customization Options
- Available in standard 23mm flange configuration
- No modifications to the optical path or internal components
- Supports any camera with 23mm flange or C-mount interface
- No option for alternative flange sizes or thread types
Comparison With Other Options
| Camera mounted on the eyepiece | The eyepiece mount blocks the optical path; the phototube adapter preserves full viewing capability while adding camera access. |
|---|---|
| C-mount adapter with a separate ring | A ring adapter may not align properly with the phototube; this adapter is designed for direct fit and consistent alignment. |
| No adapter, using a camera with a different flange | Mismatched flanges cause focus issues and image distortion; this adapter ensures correct flange distance and alignment. |
Use Guide
- Verify the phototube port is 23mm before mounting
- Align the camera flange with the adapter and secure with M3 screws
- Do not over-tighten the screws to avoid damaging the phototube
- Check that the camera is centered and does not obstruct the eyepiece
- Use only cameras with 23mm flange or C-mount interface

Frequently Asked Questions
What camera interfaces does this adapter support?
It supports cameras with a 23mm flange or C-mount interface.
Can I use this adapter with a USB2.0 camera?
Yes. The adapter is compatible with USB2.0 cameras as long as they have a 23mm flange or C-mount interface.
Does this adapter affect the microscope's optical path?
No. It is a passive adapter and does not alter the optical path; the eyepiece view remains unchanged.
Is the adapter compatible with all stereo microscopes?
Only with microscopes that have a 23mm phototube port. Confirm the port size before ordering.
Can I use this adapter with a trinocular microscope?
Yes. It fits the phototube port on trinocular microscopes and allows camera attachment without blocking the eyepiece.
What is the weight of the adapter?
Approximately 120 grams.
