Device allows to connect microscope to camera that utilizes Fujifilm X-mount interchangeable lens mount. There are no lenses within this adapter. When camera body is held at approximately 40 millimeters from microscope ocular, image is projected directly to camera matrix. Focus is adjusted as is usual for microscopes, by changing distance between sample and primary lens of the microscope. To eliminate unwanted light passing directly through the case of adapter and also to eliminate light reflections within adapter interior walls it is wise to print this adapter from dark and matte material. Alternatively dark tape can be applied to exterior of adapter and black paint to interior (as I did).

Here are sample photos done using this device.
