The camera adapter is a connection between microscope and camera that bundles
the light from the microscope and directs it onto the CMOS chip. For Olympus Soft
Imaging Solutions light microscope cameras, camera adapters with the magnifica-
tion factor 0.5 or higher are suitable.
Screenshot
The term 'screenshot' stands for a monitor photo of the complete screen surface, or
of a window, that can easily be created. You can make a screenshot of the complete
screen by using the [Print] key. To make a screenshot of the active MS-Windows
window, use the keyboard shortcut [Alt+Print]. The screenshot you've just created
can be inserted into a file from the clipboard by using the shortcut [Ctrl+V].
Driver
To enable a computer to communicate with a connected device, a driver is required.
The driver's task is to interpret the signal sent. The drivers are chosen by the oper-
ating system and every device's driver is shown in the Device Manager. The camera
only works, if the correct driver has been activated.
