FF Sony to microscope - will this work to create a flat field?

[shawngibson]

<p>Hi all, just bought a Sony A7II to connect to my microscope. But the only adaptor I've seen which will utilize the full frame and create a flat field is way beyond me financially (ca. $1600).</p>

<p>I am by no means an optics person, but based on looking around, will this (image) work to create a flat field (i.e. rectangular, not circular) image utilizing the full frame of the camera?</p>

<p>The Omax part is this thing:</p>

<p>Hi Shawn - I think the answer will depend on the extension of the bellows. Many years ago Leica, which was principally a microscope manufacturer at the time, offered a photomicrography adapter for (I think it was) 4x5 film plates. The adapter slipped into the microscope ocular hole or over the ocular itself (sorry I can't remember which), and the way the picture filled the frame was due to the extension between the exit and the film plate being several inches. The issue, of course, was exposure, due to the inverse square law; light intensity significantly reduced.</p>
