ABSTRACT:
An adaptor for use in a video microscope system including a video monitor, a camera and a microscope. The adaptor comprises a hollow body portion including open top and bottom ends, said body portion having an interior surface; first means for coupling said top end to the camera; and second means for coupling said bottom end to the microscope. The microscope includes a base portion having a top surface opening and objective lens; wherein the bottom end of the adaptor is coupled to the top surface opening of the microscope. The adaptor transmits light directly from the objective lens to the camera without changing the direction of the light. The adaptor fits conventional and infinity corrected microscopes to convert the microscopes into dedicated video microscope systems. The video monitor is connected to the system to provide presentation of microscope object images to a group of observers. The system may additionally be interfaced with a computer system to add text and save images.
