The first photo is of a Nikon microscope camera that I was in the process of modifying to accept my Nikon mirrorless camera. I was surprised to see that Nikon used a Canon made stepper motor! I can’t imagine that too many Nikon products use Canon parts.
The second photo is of my microscope setup (Nikon Optiphot) that I use to observe and photograph the small world.
