Compatible with all models from Explorer to Graduate, it includes a custom T2 ring tailored to your camera brand. Currently offered at a limited-time £25 discount, it’s the perfect tool for professionals seeking to elevate their microscopic photography. ## Description The Apex Snapper is an accessory that allows any SLR (digital or film) to be attached to any of the microscopes in our range from the Explorer to the Graduate. However remember that the camera lens is replaced by the microscope lens so if you have an expensive SLR the quality of the image will be dictated by the microscope lens. The Snapper is designed to fit over an eyetube of the microscope and then to the camera back via a T2 ring that has the correct fitting for your camera e.g. Nikon, Canon, Olympus etc: If you order a Snapper we will contact you directly to establish the make of your camera and therefore the type of T2 ring you need so please make sure you include a daytime telephone number on your order form. ## Features - Normally £75 - £25 off for a limited time! - Allows an SLR camera to be attached to a microscope - Suitable for all our range of microscopes from the Explorer to the Graduate - We just need to know the make of your SLR camera and the microscope being used get the right bits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Apex Microscopes | | Part number | AP | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | ## Product Details - **Material:** PLA_(Polylactic_Acid), PE_(Polyethylene) - **Brand:** Apex Microscopes - **Manufacturer:** Apex Snapper ## Images ![The Apex Snapper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31UYwEEFOeL.jpg) ![The Apex Snapper - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41LAQyDKKCL.jpg) ![The Apex Snapper - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31l8Q9NCuwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get the picture? *by A***E on 27 February 2016* I had high expectations of this microphoto attachment but it didn't quite provide me with the results that I was looking for. The one that I purchased looks different from the version pictured here. It did the job but I was a little concerned that the eyepiece inserted from the microscope was loose inside the snapper tube and had to be nudged into place. Of greater concern was the potential for the eyepiece to fall back and potentially hit the interior of the attached DSLR. This never actually happened but the potential was always there.The Snapper materials were of a good quality but was only held in place by one large grub screw. Whilst I'm certain that this is more than suffice, I was a little concerned that this was the only major point of contact and support once a large and heavy DSLR was attached. But the final decision point for me was the quality of the images captured. Now, these will never be anything like those taken with a DSLR and, to be fair, the images that I took were absolutely fine but hadn't the resolution and contrast that I needed. My feeling is that the system works just fine and is of a very good standard. But, from what I understand, the objectives and eyepieces on the microscope, whilst very good, are the equivilant to the kit lens that you buy with a DSLR. While these are adequate, they can never come anywhere near the quality of, say, a L series lens of the highest quality.The good folk at Apex Customer Service were fantastic (especially one lady; my main contact). She went out of her way to provide help and support, suggesting alternative approaches and putting me in contact with technical experts. She even sent me an additional photo eyepiece to experiment with. All in all, despite my 4 start rating here, I would give Apex Microscopes and their customer service lady 5+ stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a superb piece of kit and I highly recommend it. *by S***. on 7 October 2016* This is a superb piece of kit and I highly recommend it. It is easy to set up,use and it is well made and sturdy..Instructions are included and it is very easy to assemble. Simply remove the binocular head from the Researcher microscope and insert the attachment. I have only played around with it for a short while but have had some nice photos..I've uploaded 2 or 3 of them. Definitely would recommend the Snapper for a quick and economical way to get some nice photomicrographic images..make sure you inform Apex of the type of both camera and microscope that you wish to use to make sure you get the correct attachment...Also I must just say that I have made several purchases from Apex Microscopes and I find them to be a very professional and helpful company to deal with.. many many thanks...The first photo is the setup..Canon EOS 450D with Snapper attached to Apex Researcher microscope.The second is sugar granules with homemade blue-red Rheinberg illumination filter.The third is wild daisy pollen under quite high magnification. Each grain is about 20µm in diameter.The forth is a stained cross section of a pine leaf, total horizontal fov is about 1200µm. ### ⭐ Poor Quality Mount that doesnt do the job. *by B***Y on 2 December 2016* Is not a good mount for Canon DSLR cameras. Comes packaged with a low grade lens for the photo eyepiece which distorts overall sharpness when viewed through the camera. Seller offered no technical support or clarification as to why these issues were present. The Overall construction of the mount is shoddy and locking mechanisims do not function well. This creates movement which may lead to the camera falling from the mount. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51091905-the-apex-snapper](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51091905-the-apex-snapper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
