•
When the rod is pushed completely into
head, 100% of the microscope image is
directed to the binocular eyepiece for
observation.
•
In the mid-position, adjusted until a click is
heard, 100% of the image is directed to the
trinocular port for photographs or video
images.
•
In the fully extended position, 30% of the
image is directed to the binocular eyepieces,
and 70 % to the trinocular port.
A.
To adapt a photographic camera, an adapter tube is required. (Fig. 3). This adapter tube includes a
2.5X photographic lens which measures the parfocality correctly between the images of the binocular
and vertical ports. The adapter tube also requires a T mount adapted to fit the T threads of all reflex
photographic camera brands on the market.
1. To install the camera on the microscope, first remove the front lens of the camera and put the
thread in its place. Then screw in the adapter tube to the thread of the camera.
2. Loosen the knurled screw located on the side of the dual viewing head until the protective cap
that covers the port can be removed (Fig.4).

3. Insert the adapter tube with the camera
mounted on the vertical port. If it does
not connect easily, unscrew the knurled
screw until the adapter tube drops into
the port and is firmly in place.
4. Tighten the knurled screw firmly to
support the camera well in place.
5. Place the sliding rod to mid, or
extended position to allow the image to
be directed to the camera.
6. Operate the camera according to the
manufacturers instructions.

B.
To adapt a video camera, an adapter tube is required (Fig. 3). This adapter contains a 0,5X lens for
video that measures the correct parfocality between binocular, and the vertical port images. The
vertical port is responsible for the images appearing on the TV monitor. The adapter tube also
includes a “C” knurled ring and a “CS” type ring to accommodate different types of video cameras.
1. To install the camera on the microscope, screw the adapter tube on the video camera.
2. Loosen the knurled screw located on the side of the dual viewing head until the protective cap
that covers the port can be removed (Fig.4).
