Step 1: Step 1: Make Your Microscope Ready

This is my microscope, First remove the eye piece or remove the complete tube like section which I marked for best result, You can remove that tube like structure by just unscrewing, This method is suitable for most of the microscopes. and also add a LED with a switch and battery (don't forget to add a resistor to prevent burning of LED).

Step 2: Step 2: Make Your Camera Ready

For Best result you need a webcam of 20 Megapixels,

Here I used I ball 20 Megapixel webcam which is just $20.

Remove the cover and lens of the webcam, Because, Microscope already contains magnifying lens.

YOU MUST REMOVE THE LENS OF WEBCAM, IT CAN DONE BY JUST UNSCREWING THE LENS.

Step 3: Step 3: Attach You Camera With the Microscope

Just attach your Microscope and Webcam together with some glue. That's all, At the time of writing this instructable, I gave my microscope to my school, so I am unable to upload the actual image of microscope and camera but images of specimen are 100% real and taken with my microscope.

NCH Software for 50 dollars CAN per computer is the cost for that cpu-life which is very useful to know.

[SHOE0007]

Keep in mind many of the Software material for your camera are not free. Expect to pay 35 to 60 dollars US for the software for a year use. Yes this is a good instructable but this is the missing part. I got it to work (I made a good digital microscope).

My Miscrope was orignally 240 dollars on Sale normally 650 dollars on Boreal Science. It goes from 10 x to 100 x so 40 mag to 1000x. I like to use it to see bacteria, and yeast with it.

I have a cheap microscope camera that I can attach to my computer and use it to see things under my Microscope. It was a digital type but that part died out (software). This could be very useful Indeed.

I also want to add Polar gratings to get this: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/K-F-Concept-52-55-58-62-67-72-77mm-Slim-UV-CPL-Polarizer-FLD-Lens-Filter-Kit/322846292432?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Da9c3971c445e4aac9b827b8535667bd1%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D323114264655%26itm%3D322846292432&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A599a4fff-5f9d-11e9-b83a-74dbd18088cf%7Cparentrq%3A21e034f416a0ac88dadb1ed8fff43f8f%7Ciid%3A1

how much is the 20 megapixel webcam cost

[shark_bloody]

There is not such thing as a 20 MPx webcam, that is just a marketing scam. Use a 2.1 MPx camera (one that can record 1080p) and you will be fine.

[rifath.stechlabs]

In India, It is 850 Rupees, ($1=62 rupees)

[nuki40]

can you zoom in further with the cam?

[rajapal]

2 Megapixel or 20 Megapixel cam ? Please confirm. Tq

[kesmoo]

Wow! We will try it at the weekend. Thanks.

[rifath.stechlabs]

Have LOT of FUN with this

[alcurb]

Great instructable, but you need to show a picture of the camera attached to the scope. Perhaps a friend at school can photograph it and send you the image.

[rifath.stechlabs]

Yeah, I can attach the photograph of the microscope and camera, i will upload that after my exams are over.

[acorrales2]

Nice work! I will definitely test the same idea for a telescope and others. thanks. I am going to have fun with this.

[rifath.stechlabs]
