14. Photomicrography
For details on assembly and usage of the camera and the photomicrography equipment, see the instruction manual
supplied with each equipment. Even if all microscope components are adjusted properly, you may find the image
vignetted in the finder of the camera. This has no influence on photomicrography, however.
Photomicrography equipment and ports that accept them
See the chart below for the relationship between photomicrography equipment and the port that accepts them.

Others
Digital still cameras
(F-mount)
that have “aperture opening
priority auto mode (A)” such
as D1X, D1H, D1, etc.

Set the intermediate magnification dial
to "1.5X." If it is set to "1X," the edges of
the view field become darker.

adapter
For observation
port:
Attach to the
vertical tube of
the trinocular
eyepiece tube of
the upright
microscopes,
mounted on the
intermediate
tube
Needs PLI projection lens.
When attached to TE2000-S, use of
“photo-mask eyepiece” will enable
focusing through eyepiece.
When attached to the side port, the cover
of the polaroid / 35mm camera back will
not open fully.
The rectangular photo-mask (not
equipped on TE2000-S) shows the range
to be taken on photo when PLI 2.5X is
used. When other PLI lenses are used,
check the range through the finder on
the photomicrographic equipment.
