A: The main benefits are **significantly larger sensors**, allowing for superior light gathering and low-light performance (crucial for fluorescence), and **manual control** over exposure settings, leading to higher quality, publication-ready images.

A: Generally, the SLR Camera solution refers to the **adapter and necessary hardware/software** to couple your existing high-end camera body (e.g., Canon, Nikon, Sony) to the microscope's trinocular port. Camera bodies are often sourced separately to meet specific user preferences.

A: The camera connects to the microscope via a specialized **T2 or dedicated brand-specific adapter**, which mounts directly onto the trinocular tube or C-mount port of the microscope, ensuring precise parfocality and alignment.

A: While the SLR body's native software can capture images, many users prefer to use **dedicated microscope software** (often included with the adapter kit) for advanced features like live view measurement, calibration, and annotation directly within the lab environment.
