5. PHOTOMICROGRAPHIC PROCEDURE (TRINOCULAR ONLY)
To ensure vibration free operation, set the microscope on a sturdy vibration free table or a bench
with a vibration proof device.
Turn the beam splitter knob (Fig.24) of the eyepiece tube to the “need icon” photo position.
The photo port is activated, 80% of the light will enter the camera.
Select a blue filter for routine application. An additional colour-compensating filter can also be
used depending on the colour rendition.
A change of depth of focus, contrast and resolution of image is attainable with an aperture setting
of about 2/3 maximum. Fine setting of the condenser aperture is depending on the individual
sample.
For photomicrographic operation, please refer to the manual of the specific camera being used.
