Mr. Larrin, I have no experience with cameras on microscopes. It sounds like maybe you do, so any info you wish to share is helpful.
Apparently the cameras on the AmScopes have 40X magnification so they have reduction lenses to knock them back to 20X. I take it that means when using a 40X objective the camera would see 800X. Is that correct?
I don’t really understand the camera having 40X magnification because they show when connecting a reduction lens there is no lens in front of the camera sensor. They also show that a camera can be attached by removing an eyepiece. But that would remove the eyepiece lens and the magnification it provides. Now that I think the thing through, I have no idea how cameras attached to microscopes work. Obviously the camera uses the objective lens magnification but is there additional magnification somehow? I guess I don’t get it.
The AmScope cameras can be focused, but not zoomed.
Here is a video. Starting about ¾ through it speaks to reduction lenses and how they attach.

I would like to understand what magnification the camera sees.
