Changing the camera lens:
A standard 8mm lens is assembled on each camera. To change the lens,
simply extend the lens by rotating in a counter-clockwise rotation until fully
extended. Apply a small amount of additional force in this same direction
to free the lens. Screw on the new lens, and as threading seems to reach
end of natural course, apply a small amount of additional force to lock it
in place. Rotate the lens back in a counter-clockwise direction to ensure it
extends, rather than unscrew. If it unscrews, re-tighten in a
clockwise direction, adding an additional amount of force to lock it in
place.
5. Focusing:
The Video Flex
®
uses the patented Quick Focus
®
C-mount lens. The focusing
ring, located on the camera head, is similar to that of a 35mm camera. The
new ergonomic design makes focusing with one hand a snap. Just a 1/4 turn
of the focus ring adjusts focus from close-up to infinity.
When using the standard 8mm lens, the light will automatically be adjusted for
optimum viewing conditions, depending on the available light and options in
use. When using the optional 16mm manual iris lens (VF16MM), open the iris
until you have sufficient light to show the image on the monitor. Then, adjust
the focus ring until your image is crisp. Once you have a crisp image, you
may want to readjust your manual iris, to achieve the best image possible.
6. Optional Polarizing Adapter:
•
The Microscope Polarizing adapter kit (VFEAPKO) allows you to turn any
microscope into a polarizing microscope. Place the polarizing eyepiece
adapter over the microscope eyepiece and connect the Video Flex, slip the
polarizing film between the slide and the light source, and rotate the
polarizing eyepiece to reveal the polarizing light spectrum.
7. Connecting the Microscope Eyepiece Adapter:
The Video Flex
®
as shipped includes a 28mm microscope eyepiece adapter
that allows your Video Flex
®
to be coupled with microscopes or other objects
which have eyepieces. The 28mm adapter included will fit most compound
microscopes. Using the Video Flex
®
without the adapter will fit most stereo
(dissecting) microscopes (34.5 mm).
