* Project description
[[file:make.png]]

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).
