Digital Imaging Upgrades for Evident & Olympus Binocular Microscopes

Transform a compatible binocular upright microscope into a powerful digital imaging, teaching and documentation system.

Important: This listing is for a digital imaging upgrade system only. The microscope shown in application images is not included. Auckland Scientific can supply a compatible microscope separately – please contact us for advice or a complete-system quotation.

Add digital imaging without replacing your microscope

These purpose-designed systems integrate with compatible Evident and Olympus binocular upright biological microscopes, including suitable CX23 configurations.

A professional 50:50 NPBS beam splitter preserves normal binocular observation while simultaneously directing the image to the digital camera. The integrated 0.43× tube lens provides a wide field of view, while the accessible focus adjustment helps align the eyepiece and displayed images.

Choose from three carefully configured Auckland Scientific solutions: a complete PC-free system with its own 15.6-inch 4K display, a compact PC-free camera for an external display, or a straightforward 20 MP USB system for use with a Windows computer.
