14. Microphotography

14.1 Use of C-mount cameras

1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular
port and remove the dust cap ②. (Fig. 53)
2. Screw the C-mount adapter ③ to the camera ④
and insert the round dovetail of the C-mount into
the empty hole of the trinocular port, then tighten
the clamping screw ①. (Fig. 54)
14.2 Use of Reflex camera
1. Insert the Reflex adapter ② into the relay tube to
the microscope ①.
2. Screw the "T2" ring ③ (not provided) to the reflex
adapter.
3. Connect the Reflex camera ④ to the "T2" just in-
stalled. (Fig. 55)
• "T2" ring is not provided along with the microsco-
pe, but is commercially available.
• While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepie-
ces and viewfinder with a dark cloth to minimize
the diffused light.
• To calculate the magnification of the camera:
objective magnification * camera magnification *
lens magnification.
• If using an SLR camera, mirror move-
ment may cause the camera to vibrate.
We suggest lifting the mirror, using long ex-
posure times and a remote cord.
