• “T2” ring is not provided along with the microscope, but is
commercially available.
• While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepieces and view -
finder with a dark cloth to minimize the diffused light.
• To calculate the magnification of the camera: objective mag -
nification * camera magnification * lens magnification.
• When using an SLR camera, mirror movement may
cause the camera to vibrate.
• We suggest lifting the mirror, using long exposure times
and a remote cord.
