“I've been working on a camera setup to photograph coins. I came across the Pimoroni microscope stand and camera somewhat by accident. It was just what I was looking for!
The setup shown in the photographs is my initial setup. The camera works great. In addition, the shipping time was phenomenal. I received in less time that it takes to receive items from some domestic (US) vendors.”
“The lense works fine for SMT soldering. The stand however does not fit any of the Raspberry Pi Models I have around. Found no information on this anywhere so far.”
“The new Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera has exceeded all my expectations.
It's on a completely new level with regards to image quality, clarity and definition.
For me the winning factor was the new range of professional lenses available from Pimoroni.
For my particular project I ordered the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, the Microscope stand with 0.12-1.8x lens and a Raspberry Pi Camera Cable 50cm. I inherited some 8mm and super-8 film from the 1960's and wondered if I could improve on the digital scan of a lab. The microscope lens was of particular interest as the exposed areas of an 8mm film is only 3.3mmx4.5mm. To my excitement the new lens was able to capture that area including the frame. Ideal for single frame frames at 4K resolution. Below an experimental rig and some down-sampled footage.”
“Able to get nice macro shots and microscope type enlargements.
I’m thinking of add some kind of neopixel light ring to help with getting better lighting on really closeup stuff.”
“Il marche bien,
J'aurais préféré que la base soit plus épaisse pour pouvoir loger ma carte Raspberry à l'intérieur. Ce serait intéressant et utile de pouvoir utiliser la base creuse pour loger la carte de commande.”
