 | I currently have a fisher micromaster metallurgical microscope for
research purpose. It comes with a 40X objective, a pair of 10X
eyepieces and a trinocular body. I want to take digital photo with it
now. Can anybody suggest a good digital eyepiece? I don't need a large
number of pixel, however, a big magnification is very important for me.
By the way, Can anybody compare the solution between using a digital
eyepiece and other solutions like using c-mount digital camera. The
later one seems having a lower magnification.

If you a buying a complete digital system there are lot of
things to take into account.
If you just need a few pictures and already have have a digital
camera it may be as simple as providing a stable support of the
cameras over an existing eyepiece.
Let us know what need and already have access to and we can make
a lot more reasonable suggestion.
Good luck

An ocular camera will be cheaper than other options, e.g., trinoc
ports. Resolution will be less and viewing via only one ocular may or
may not be an issue. For better results, a digital camera mounted on
a trinoc photo port is superior. However, the camera put on that port
also makes a big difference--quality and cost. It really depends on
what ultimate results you seek.

| The main reason to choose a digital eyepiece is to save money. A decent
c-mount setup is better if you can mount it onto your scope (requires trinoc
port). The application will drive the choice of digital recording device.
Magnification depends on the magnification of your objective, the relay
lens, size of image sensor, and the way how you finally print/view the
image.
