Four simple sets for digital microphotography are described that have been tested with the Carl Zeiss Jena, Meopta Prague, Lambda Prague, and LOMO Sankt Petersburg microscopes and with DSLR Nikon D 70 and Nikon D 300 cameras. They permit precise image focusing in the camera using a prism Zeiss. The sets make use of commonly available extensions Zeiss, Praktica and reductions Nikon-Praktica manufactured by ROWI (without a lens) or HAMA (with a lens). An extension has further been designed and manufactured for connecting the DSLR Nikon D 300 camera fitted with the HAMA reduction (only with a lens) and a focusing extensible prism with Zeiss Jena light measurement. It permits a precise image focusing of low light intensity objects (autofluorescence or low-contrast or moving objects when using positive or negative phase contrast). The sets are applicable to all microscopes constructed according to German DIN industrial standards.
