The lens mount is an interface that allows a lens to be attached to an interchangeable lens camera. As of 2018, Canon has produced 8 mainstream lens mounts.However, a lens mount does not exist simply as a means of attaching a lens to the camera. It also facilitates communication between the camera and the lens, enabling both to perform a wide range of functions.Canon’s first mount was a standard-thread-type screw mount that supported the mechanisms found in rangefinder cameras. Subsequent mounts evolved with the times in order to meet users’ expectations, delivering such advancements as automatic aperture, auto-exposure and autofocus mechanisms.The newest mount, the RF mount, promises even better image quality and usability thanks to its large mount diameter, short back focus distance and enhanced lens-camera communication system. It is indeed a mount designed for the future.It can be said that the lens mount is the key to the future evolution of both lenses and cameras.

Many modern course microscopes are equipped with a condenser and an associated condenser diaphragm. The purpose of the condenser is to concentrate the light onto the specimen, its diaphragm regulates resolution, contrast and depth of field. There is a trade-off to consider:

It is up to the microscopist to find the optimum setting of the aperture diaphragm, but for optimum resolution the setting of the diaphragm should be more or equal to the numerical aperture of the objective (this value is printed on the objective).

Many beginning microscope users prefer to generally close the aperture diaphragm all the way. The image possesses more contrast and subjectively appears more crisp. The image looks less “washed-out” The increased depth of field also makes it easier to find the plane of focus.

In 2018, Canon unveiled the new RF lens mount. There were a number of different types of lens mount that came before it. What features did these lens mounts have, and how have Canon mounts evolved throughout the years? Watch this video to find out.
