11. Microphotography

11.1 Use of C-mount cameras

1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular
port and remove the dust cap②. (Fig. 22)
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. 23)
11.2 Use of reflex cameras
1. Insert the Reflex adapter ① into the relay tube to
the microscope ②.
2. Screw the "T2" ring ③ (not provided) to the reflex
adapter.
3. Connect the Reflex camera ④ to the "T2" just
installed (Fig. 24).
4. Mount the other end of the relay tube ② into the
empty hole of the trinocular port, then tighten the
clamping screw. (Fig. 22)
• "T2" ring is not provided with the microscope, but
is commercially available.
• While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepieces
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 movement
may cause the camera to vibrate.
• We suggest lifting the mirror, using long
exposure times and a remote cord.
