For differences in eyesight:
1. Using only the right eye, look through the right eyepiece (1) and adjust focus.
2. Next, using the left eye, look through the eyepiece and adjust the focus by turning the diopter
adjuster (2) located on the left-hand tube (3) until the image appears sharp. Do not use the focus
knobs to adjust focus (18).
E. Changing magnification.
1. Turn the zoom control (16) to the highest magnification, 4X.
2. Although the stereomicroscope has been parfocalised, focus will have to be adjusted as the
objectives of a low magnification offer a more profound field of view. The profundity of the field is
the capacity to focus on different points on different levels.
3. Once the image is in focus with the higher magnification objectives it is not necessary to adjust
the focus when lower magnification objectives are used.
Adapting a photographic, or a video camera
(Only for model SMZ-143)
The model SMZ-143 comes equipped with a vertical image
port on the head for the installation of a photographic reflex
type camera, or video camera, using the corresponding
adapters.
At the back of the head there is a selection lever (Fig. 2) that
transmits the image to the vertical port. In an extended position
the image is transmitted to the vertical port, but the image
cannot be seen by the right eyepiece.
A.
To adapt a photographic camera an adapter tube is
needed. This tube includes 2X lenses to balance the
correct parfocality between the images received by the
binocular and vertical ports. This balance can be
achieved providing that the parfocality has been
adjusted correctly, as described in point “D. Changing
magnification” in this manual.
The adapter tube has a T type thread at one end where adapter mounts of all types can be adapted
for all reflex camera brand names on the market.
NB
: The T type adapter mount is not included as it is an item specific to each brand of camera on the
market
1. To connect the camera to the microscope, first remove the front lens of the camera, and place the
corresponding T mount. Screw on the adapter tube provided, onto the mount of the camera.
2. Loosen the knurled screw (Fig.2), situated on the side of the vertical port on the head, sufficiently
enough to remove the protective cover.
3. Insert the adapter tube with the camera already mounted on the vertical port. If it does not insert
easily, unscrew the knurled screw until the adapter tube fits perfectly.
4. Re-tighten the knurled screw, so that the camera is secure.
5. Operate the camera according to manufacturers instructions.
