[Histonet] microscope camera

[Massimo]

Hi,

on the phototube of the "Lomo" tri-ocular head of my microscope I use a Nikon Coolpix P310 Camera without "C" adaper.
The phototube mounts a "Leitz" eyepiece 10x for photography (red dot) with a high exit eyepoint and a standard outside diameter barrel of 23.2 mm.
The eyepiece is placed into an aluminum cylinder with an external diameter of 50.0 mm. and fixed by a plastic screw.
The camera is hold on the cylinder by an "Universal Digiscoping Adapter" (diameter range: 43 - 65 mm.) brand "Vortex", which allows
the movement of the camera in the X - Y directions.
You can watch at the assembled system and some results on this folder link:

COST of the Nikon P310 camera in Italy on 29 May 2012: 350.00 Euro

If you want to keep your "C" mount adaper you can choice among Nikon Coolpix cameras:
900, 995 and 4500.
They are quite obsolete with cheap costs and you can still find something on "eBay".
Despite its low cost they give good results.

Oggetto: [Histonet] microscope camera
 
I have a Zeiss Universal microscope with a C mount but no camera.

My question is: what is the best microscope camera that little money can
buy?

Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Best
