Globe Scientific Universal SLR Adapter (EAE-5130) Overview
The Globe Scientific Universal SLR Adapter (EAE-5130) connects a standard SLR camera body to a microscope for documentation and image capture. Designed for the common 23.2mm tube diameter, this adapter fits a wide range of compound and stereo microscopes used across clinical, research, and educational settings.
A built-in 2x lens is integrated into the housing, magnifying the projected image to better fill the camera sensor. Pairing this component with a camera requires a separate T2 adapter matched to your specific camera mount, allowing the same SLR adapter to serve multiple camera brands when the correct T2 ring is selected.
Standardizing on a single adapter platform simplifies imaging across laboratory benches. Technicians gain repeatable photo documentation without swapping eyepiece-mounted hardware between instruments that share the 23.2mm trinocular or eyepiece tube standard.

Laboratory Applications
Image documentation drives much of modern microscopy work. This adapter supports capturing specimen photographs for histology review, cell culture monitoring, microbiology plating records, and material inspection where a permanent visual record must accompany written results.
Teaching labs and quality-control departments rely on consistent photo capture to share findings and verify observations. Mounting an SLR body through a 23.2mm tube lets staff archive high-resolution images, build reference libraries, and document conditions over time using familiar camera equipment.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
The EAE-5130 ships as a single unit (1 EA) at a list price of $453.20. Master case quantity is not specified; contact for case configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EAE-5130 work with any camera out of the box?
No. A separate T2 adapter matched to your camera mount is required to attach an SLR body. The EAE-5130 provides the microscope-side connection and 2x lens, while the T2 ring completes the link to your specific camera.
What microscope tube size does this adapter fit?
It fits the standard 23.2mm tube found on many trinocular and eyepiece ports. Confirm your instrument uses the 23.2mm standard before ordering.
What magnification does the built-in lens provide?
The adapter includes a built-in 2x lens, which magnifies the projected image to help fill the camera sensor during capture.
