Retiga 3000 USER MANUAL
Sensor Orientation
When the Retiga 3000 is coupled to the side port of an
inverted
microscope with the flat surface of the
camera parallel to the table, the CCD orientation will match the view seen through the eyepiece. This allows
for easy access to the mounting holes to stabilize the camera while maintaining a consistent perspective
between the captured images and what’s seen down the eyepiece of the microscope.
For the top port of
upright
microscopes and bottom ports to some inverted microscopes, the Retiga 3000
must be rotated 90° counter-clockwise to match the view seen through the eyepiece. This is due to the
differences in the optical paths between inverted side ports and upright top ports.
I/O Connector Pinout
The I/O (Input/Output Status) connector provides information about trigger function, DAC, and TTL signals.
Inputs must be at least 3.15 V for a high and less than 0.9 V for a low.
The numbers on the I/O connector diagram correspond to the numbers given to the definition of each of the pins.
The I/O trigger cable connects to Hirose connector HR212-10RC-10SDL(74) on the back of the camera. Below
