Microscope Video Recording with the GoPro MISSION1 PRO ILS

on

 I attached the GoPro MISSION1 PRO ILS to a microscope and recorded videos using differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy.

I found that the MISSION1 PRO ILS has all the features needed to make it an ideal camera for microscopy.

Imaging System

  • Zeiss AxioSkop

  • GoPro MISSION1 PRO ILS

  • M4/3 to F-mount adapter

  • Institute of Small World Camera Adapter

  • Zeiss Plan-Neofluar 20×

  • Zeiss P2.5×

  • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)







DIC microscopy produces relatively dim images, making slow-motion video recording difficult with the cameras I have used in the past.

However, the MISSION1 PRO ILS has excellent low-light sensitivity, allowing me to capture clean, noise-free slow-motion videos.

I think this camera is ideal for recording fast-moving microorganisms.

I doubt I'll ever use another camera for microscope video recording again!
