My previous article on digital imaging in the April 1997 issue of Microscopy Today noted the use of an Olympus Auto Bellows with a Kodak MegaPlus 1.6i/AB CCD camera for digital photomacrographs equivalent to 4 x 5 Polaroid prints with magnifications between 10X and 50X, The purpose of this article is to document the high resolution obtainable with the bellows system and the design modifications needed to eliminate the plastic dovetail inserts of the Olympus Auto Bellows, which are susceptible to delayed stress cracking when used with a heavier camera like the MegaPlus, Total failure of the dovetail inserts could cause costly damage to the lens and the camera.
