Seems to be the most available size reduction lens for trinocular microscopes. It does work. It gives you a very different view on your camera than you see through your eye pieces. I had to figure this out on my own but from what I understand the trinocular microscopes are designed for a full frame sensor camera which is very expensive.The cameras that are affordable that are for microscopes have a 2.8 sensor. The proper reduction lens to have the exact same view I believe would be a 0.28 deduction lens.Unfortunately that doesn't appear to exist. I was able to find a 0.3 reduction lens on Amazon which gives a much closer representation to what you see through the eye pieces on your microscope.When using this lens with a microscope camera the picture on your screen will be of a much smaller portion of what you're trying to look at. For instance I use my microscope with watches. When I look through the lens I can see the entire dial or movement when it's zoomed out but the camera can only see a fraction of that with this lens. It's like if you zoomed in on a photo so you could only see a small portion much larger.As best as I can tell the lens is supposed to be matched to the camera sensor size.I purchased a camera that came with the lens and had the same problem, I did the research and it turned out that it was a 2.8 sensor matched with a 0.5 reduction lens so even the manufacturer of that inexpensive camera was supplying the wrong lens most likely due to the fact that nobody is manufacturing a 0.28 reduction lens.If I run across one I'll buy it in a second but until then the 0.3 reduction seems close enough giving me probably 90% of the field of view of what I see through the eye pieces.figuring out pairing a camera and lens with the microscope can be very frustrating. Hopefully this helps if someone is going through the same process.
