Nikon Releases Fabre Photo EX DSLR-based Stereoscopic Microscope

Posted by Mike

No, we’re not sure if this is for scientists turned photographers, but we’re pretty sure that this is not for ordinary camera handlers. The new Nikon Fabre Photo EX DSLR-based Stereoscopic Microscope can surely bring out either your fear of science or fear of microbes.

This new camera with up to 66 times from a 1.5 crop factor image sensor is certainly for hardcore users.

This is the not the first Fabre Photo camera, but Nikon decided to beef up the already sturdy chassis of the camera. Nikon applied new coating on optics department to enhance image quality at the same time improving the rigidity and general look of the camera.

The unit uses AA batteries that will last up to 10 hours of continues use (we don’t know which battery brand they tested tho). The camera has an adjustable inner tube system that allows 3 level of magnification.

You can have this really geeky looking camera for ¥108,150 or around $1,200. As expected, it will initially be released in Japan.
