Do-it-yourself microscope from an AV camera

Do-it-yourself microscope from an AV camera


This article will discuss how to make a microscope from an AV camera. The image from such a camera is output to any video device that has an AV input.

Tools and materials:
-Plastic jar with a lid;
-AV camera;
-AV cable;
-Lenses;
-Power connector;
-9 V battery;
- Lens housing;
-Switch;
-Screwdriver;
-Drill;
- Thermogun;
-Nippers;
-Soldering iron;
-Soldering accessories;
-Heat-shrink tubing;



Step One: Preparing the Case
In the lid of the can makes holes equal to the diameter of the camera lens. Makes two holes in the jar. One in the bottom closer to the edge, the second in the upper part of the can.


Step two: finalizing the camera
Parses the camera and removes six infrared LEDs.


Step Three: Build
Hot glue sticks the camera to the inside of the can lid. The lens with a lens sticks from the outside.


The video output of the camera is installed in the hole at the bottom of the can. Fixes it with hot glue.

Step Four: Nutrition
The camera is powered by a 9 volt battery. To the battery connector, through a switch, connects the camera's power connector. The joints are soldered and insulated with a heat shrink tube.

Connects the battery connector to the camera's power connector. Stacks wires and battery in a jar. The switch sticks into the hole in the upper part of the can. Installs a lid with a camera on the can.

The microscope is ready, it remains only to connect to the TV.


Test result. The image is displayed on the screen.

This is correct; - why disfigure the camera,
That is, if you still have to use a sufficiently large device (TV) that is powered by the network for display, then there is no need to do autonomous power, it’s easier to power the camera through a network power supply. At the same time, the dimensions of the device will not increase, and it will not lose its functionality.

Yes, probably a small scope will be correct. smile

This is correct; - why disfigure the camera, it will give you the same picture with the same success. Take a mini "webcam" with adjustable focus and here you have a "small scope".
The backlight does not roll: there is a hole only under the lens. About battery saving - no doubt. And also, probably, the author thought: infrared illumination is not needed, and LEDs will fit somewhere else for other purposes.

In the animated film about Lefthander, the microscope was called a "small scope" .... I thought - because of a voice-over stylized under the Old Russian language .... But no! )))). here it is, MELKoscop! ))))))) ... This name is more suitable.)))))

Ivan, I think that the author most likely mixed up the usual LEDs or when the camera is placed close to the camera, the "illumination" (if I may say so) of the object and accordingly the displayed image occurs. In principle, you can check if anyone has a DVR with infrared LEDs. But this is my opinion. And the battery lasts longer.
In principle, it’s not useless garbage, it can be used, for example, when soldering SMD and other small parts. But for soldering, it would be better to use a camera powered by a power supply and with switchable backlighting with white LEDs.
But why did the author delete the IR diodes? ;) The present author talks about this in a bit veiled way, but I have two assumptions.
Awesomely useful "microscope".
blush AU! And where is the microscope?
