8.0 Digital cameras

Digital cameras are designed to be used on the photo port of the 
microscope head (fig. 1). It is also possible to use the digital camera 
in combination with a binocular head (fig.2). For MSU-600 Series, 
simply remove the eyepiece [1] and place the 30mm adapter ring 
into the eyepiece tube [2] then place the camera with mounted 
c-mount adapter in the eyepiece tube [3]. Focus the digital image 
with the coarse and fine controls of the microscope. 

For trinocular models, slide the camera with mounted C-mount 
adapter into the 23.2 mm tube of the photo port. For focussing, 
slowly unscrew the tube (A) you will be able to match parfocality 
of the camera with the view through the eyepieces by moving the 
camera up and down inside the 23.2 mm tube. Take an easy-to-
view specimen and focus the image through the microscope’s 
eyepieces (with  diopter adjustment set on “0”). Afterwards, 
perform the height adjustment procedure above while watching 
the image on the computer screen. In this case, once you have 
obtained parfocality in the device, tighten screw (A) again. Screw 
(B) is only used to fix the 23.2mm tube on the photo port. 

Follow the manual that comes with the camera for camera 
operation
