A trinocular head may be optionally selected for either a second person to view, or, more commonly, to enable a camera to be mounted to the scope.

The following recommendations are provided to help you select the proper trinocular option:

If your need is for:	Then select option:
Mounting a Microscope Video Camera (such as our EVid or BioVid)	Trinocular C-Mount
Mounting a digital camera using one of our professional digital camera mounts Using an eyetube mounted camera such as our Video Eyepiece or MiniVid	Trinocular Eyetube
Second person viewing Mounting an SLR Camera using our SLR Mount Mounting a digital camera using our inexpensive generic digital camera mount	Trinocular Eyetube & Eyepiece

Please be aware that a camera can also be mounted to one of the regular binocular eyepieces.  Regular use of the microscope will be hindered while the camera is in place, but in most situations photo image quality will not suffer.

Note: A trinocular head can be purchased for supported microscopes at a later date, but the cost will significantly higher than a purchase at the same time as your microscope purchase. Same time purchase price is an upgrade price (from Binocular to Trinocular), whereas a later purchase would be an outright purchase.  We're sorry, but we are unable to take binocular heads as trade-ins towards trinocular.
