  Once upon a time Canon used to make one for their 35mm cameras (1970's-1980's).  The lens mounts for the dSLR are STANDARD lens camera manufacturer's mounts (i.e. F-mounts, Canon Mount, etc.).  I have tested a number of old (pre-digital) lenses on the Nikon dSLR's and they work well (but no auto-focus obviously).  So you could look for an old Canon microscope objective mount.

Subject: Odd camera adapter

Has anyone seen or used an adapter allowing an infinity-corrected microscope objective to be mounted on a digital SLR camera?

Thanks, Randy
