The H756 line of C-Mount lenses is designed specifically for photomicrography, providing 0.7X-5.6X zoom magnification for use with professional microscope cameras. The lens can be mounted to any of a wide variety of C-Mount cameras including computer-driven USB cameras and stand-alone HDMI models. The lens can be used with a range of support systems from simple table stands to boom and articulating-arm supports, making this a truly versatile solution.

Single Lens vs Stereo

While stereo microscopes view subjects with three-dimensional depth for applications such as micro-soldering and dissection, the stereo lens design is not optimal for producing accurate photos or videos due to off-axis, angular distortion and keystoning. Using a single lens allows you to view subjects on a single axis to achieve focus across the entire field, and without the angular distortion. This makes the single lens ideal for video monitoring systems and photomicrography. By providing a similar magnification range as stereo microscopes, the single-lens solution can easily fit into similar workflows.

Modular Optics

The amazing utility of this microscope begins with its optics. At its core is a 0.7X-5.6X optical zoom. This allows you to quickly adjust the level of detail as needed. This model’s zoom ring has a detent to easily locate key magnifications which can be especially useful recording measurements or following redundant procedures on a production or QC line.

Out of the box, the H756TD-C150 provides 0.7X-5.6X optical magnification using the 1X objective lens. The objective lens can be replaced by one of several optional lenses ranging in magnification from 0.5X to 2X. This will decrease or increase the overall magnification range, as well as changing the working distance between the microscope and the subject.

C-Mount Interface

The H756 uses a C-Mount interface to attach to professional microscopy cameras. This includes an extensive range of USB, HDMI, and wi-fi models. This H756TD-C150 lens has a 1.5X integrated compensating lens configured to work with larger image sensors including 1” format, optimizing the field of view, and avoiding any vignetting. It also works with smaller sensor formats, making is more universally compatible.

Use with Eyepieces

An optional adapter is available (AD-C23) to convert the C-mount interface into a 30mm or 23mm tube which can be used with eyepieces or camera reduction lenses. If you would like to use this microscope with an eyepiece or one of our 23mm DSLR adapters, this optional adapter is exactly what you would need.

Illumination

An LED ring light is included to provide cool, even illumination. With the illuminator attached to the lens, the light will always be where you need it. 60 individual LEDs blanket the subject with light, daylight-balanced at 6500K for ideal imaging. Brightness can be controlled using the wired controller.

Table Stand

This package includes a table stand to provide fundamental support and focusing ability. The lens mounts to a basic focusing block designed specifically for the lens’ smaller diameter. An 11” pillar provides ample latitude and rotation while the focusing block offers symmetrical, tension-adjustable coarse focus knobs with 43mm travel. A large base provides plenty of stability along with a sturdy, metal working surface.
