    +This 3D printed tube allows to connect microscope to camera that +utilizes Fujifilm X-mount interchangeable lens mount to make photos +and videos of things you see under the microscope. +

    +Cool property is that there are no glass lenses within this adapter, +and yet it works. It is based on observation that when camera body is +held at approximately 40 millimeters from microscope ocular, image is +projected and focused directly to camera matrix. Microscope itself +acts as a tiny projector. Focus is adjusted as is usual for +microscopes, by changing distance between sample and primary lens of +the microscope.
