Dear all,

We have an old Hitachi SEM ( S-2500) with a polaroid back attachment. The polaroid films have been discontinued and we are looking for a cheap way to be able to capture images.
Has any one tried attaching a normal digital camera to a SEM? Didi you have good results?
What type of camera do you recommend?

Thank you in advance,

Virginia

Hi Virginia, I see this topic have been without reply for some time, may be we have a lack of people experience in SEM. I hope you'll find the answer. In that case could you please tell us what you found?

Greetings,
Miguel Angel

Hi ajo,

from other forums I have been tod that it is possible to use a digital SLR, as long as it has a bulb function ( so you can open the shutter forever, as the scans are very long). Some say I might need some lenses so I can capture the whole screen. I f we try this I will post my results.

Don't know if you're still looking, but semicro.org has been selling the SEM Digi-CAM for a couple years now for any analog SEM.

Thanks,

We ended up buying one of those and are very satisfied with it.

I for one would love to see some pictures you got.

If you are still looking for some pics taken contact Robert Hester at r.hester@semicro.org. He is out of the country until after Sept. 5, 2001. There are over 30 units in service so maybe someone else could post some. The latest version is 14MP.

There is a shortage of SEM images here and they are always great to see.
