Abstract
An apparatus for operatively connecting a camera to a microscope allows the camera to be quickly and easily converted for use in a normal manner. The apparatus includes a bracket assembly that securely retains the camera, and a displacement arrangement movably coupled to the bracket assembly. A coupler is attached to the displacement arrangement in order to secure the apparatus to the microscope so that an image viewable through the microscope can be photographed by the camera.
