- Action Camera to USB Microscope - Test and all about replacement lenses.
Hey guys, welcome back :D
This video is about my new "USB Microscope" which is just a modified action camera. I used a macro Lens to enhance video quality and to zoom in. The result is actually decent and much better than anything within this price range considering the distance or Zoom I can achieve. The camera was ~$60 and the lens ~$10. I also explain all the basic things you need to know to choose a lens.

First time using it: • SMD Soldering Practice...

9~22mm fixed iris M12 board lens
IR sensitive lens
1/3" format, M12 Mount, F1.6 (or F1.4)
Suitable for analog camera use

Thank you, yours is the only video that explains that you need an M12 threaded lens, and what kind of lens to use specifically, including the need for an infrared filter. Thank you very much
Wow! Great job! I think that the manual focus is a plus. I have seen so many UA-cam videos where the narrator is screaming "Focus, focus.........." . You don't have to worry when your finger or tool gets in the way and the camera refocuses and doesn't return. Kudos to you for getting the lens changed in the previous video! So many of us are worried about making a mistake that we never attempt something like that. Good for you!
Thanks :D
The only downside of manual focus is that it can easily get out of focus and to fucus it I have to manually adjust the lens in this case. In one of my newest videos I used my new camera as a microscope substitude with macro lenses. Works really good and focusing it is as simple as pressing a button. Ofcourse I agree that it is preferable to use manual focus and thats how my new camera is set up. :)
I was just looking for a way to do the same thing, but I couldn't imagine one of these lenses would do the job. I mean - people buy these because of nostalgia for manual focus. This is actually incredible. Even the greatest smd microscopes that allow for such huge distances such as 20cm go out of focus the moment you move it 1mm up or down, and I see this one doesn't have such problems. Probably auto-focus plays some corrective role here, as well?
Thanks, Anna. Good job!
great job.. world as wide as the universe !! Thank you !
Thanks for your comment and welcome to my channel 😊
Ótimo vídeo, ajudou muito, estava procurando sobe este assunto, fiz aqui deu certo , muito mais barato, melhor que câmera USB China, ficou com muita estabilidade 👏👏
Soldering smd is most of the time is at flate level. same flat level. No need to chage the distance to objetive. Thanks for the idea.
You are brilliant , I been thinking about something like this, Microscope cameras can be expensive and I wonder what kind of lens should I get connect it to a trinocular microscope. any suggestions ???
Hey! nice work. what about distance >20 cm? 40?
Yes, Manual focus it is a plus in thi scase, believe me.
Hello.
First of all congrats on your work and thanks for sharing.
I'm going to replicate this diy microscope for myself. But i have a doubt.. Can you move the camera closer to the object ? So the image can be bigger ? How close can you
approach to the "object" without losing focus ? Is a 50mm lens better for this ?
Thanks
With the exact lense I used I can get as close as 3cm to it and still be in focus. Obviously that also makes the picture significantly bigger. I bought a cheap microscope holder and am now able to fine adjust. Makes it much easier to use.
@@PhysicistAnna Tks. As soon as i have mine completed i will send you some photos.
Can you give a link for camera and lens. I will be really thankful for it
Would you happen to have a link and some instructions on how you added a filter to the lens? I'm trying to replicate what you have done with your action camera, and I'm still confused on how to mount a filter to the lens.
Hey, welcome to my channel! :)
The original lens had a filter already attached to it so I just removed it and glued it to the new one on the inside.
can u give link for parts u usr
