5.2 Video capturing (optional)
The OPTIGEM is fitted with a trinocular stereo head. The third port can be connected to ca-
meras (in some cases via an adaptor) for digital and analogical photo and video capturing.
Before taking a picture or filming video, pull out the light path selector lever so the light will
be deflected into the photo tube. At the same time, no light will enter into the left eyepiece
tube for observation. Please refer to the adaptor and camera manuals for further details.
5.3 assembling the accessories plates (optional)
All the accessories can be assembled one and one or combined in a stack, in any order,
both when the microscope is being used as a horizontal unit and when it is in its vertical
configuration (see fig. 6-9).
This is made by attaching the plate/s to the two holes in the stage plate and fixing them with
the included screws and spacers.
The polarizing analysis kit comes with a polarizer and an analyser. The polarizer should be
mounted on the stage as explained above and the analyser should be screwed onto the
objective holder of the stereo head, first removing the ring that is already attached.
For more information about using the optional accessories, please see
