DSLR & Mirrorless Microscope Adapter
for High-Resolution Microscope Imaging

Connect APS-C or full-frame interchangeable-lens cameras to biological, metallurgical and stereo microscopes

Mecan microscope adapters connect DSLR and mirrorless camera bodies to microscope photo ports for high-resolution still images and video capture. The system is designed for users who want to use Canon, Nikon, Sony or other interchangeable-lens cameras with an existing microscope.

The main adapter lineup includes NY-1S for APS-C camera formats and NY-1S35 for 35 mm full-frame camera formats. The correct configuration depends on the camera sensor size, camera mount, microscope photo port and required field of view.

Microscope Imaging with Interchangeable-Lens Cameras

  • Capture microscope images using DSLR or mirrorless camera bodies.
  • Suitable for biological, metallurgical and stereo microscope imaging.
  • Supports APS-C and full-frame camera formats with different adapter models.
  • Camera maker attachments allow use with many Canon, Nikon, Sony and other camera mounts.
  • Relay optics help project the microscope image onto the camera sensor.
  • Useful for research documentation, education, inspection and publication-quality imaging.
  • Trinocular microscope photo ports are the most common attachment route.
  • Compatibility should be confirmed by microscope model, photo port and camera body.
