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.

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.

Support Options

DM756 series microscopes are designed to be used with a range of support systems, including table stands, boom stands, and articulating stands. The microscope can be mounted in 50mm collars, or combined with the AD-SZ76 adapter to fit the 76mm collars used by our most popular stands.
