5.2 Lens Attachment
The LC3000 series cameras provide threaded mounting holes on the front face of
the cameras to allow the attachment of custom lens adapters. The lens mount is a
M42 x 1 (Pentax) thread. PerkinElmer can provide such optical components as
lenses, C and F style lens adapters, extension tubes, and focusing systems. Figure
6 shows the location of mounting holes and registration holes for the attachment
of custom lens adapters.

5.3 Mounting the Camera
Camera mounting distance from the object to be imaged is determined by the
required object width X, the camera array size and the selected lens and
extension. See section
5.1 for some general guidelines for physically locating
your camera for your application. Mounting the camera requires the supplied
mounting plate or customer supplied adapter. Figure 7 shows the location of the
mounting holes for attaching the camera to the mounting surface, specifies the
mounting hole thread and defines the sensor optical distance setback AF (5.8
mm). The same mounting provisions are provided on each of the camera 4 sides.
Note:
To install the mounting plate you must remove the two phillips head screws first.
These screws are reused to attach the mounting plate.
