V. Mounting a camera attachment 

Place the eyepiece adapter into the trinocular camera port on the top of the microscope 
and mount an eyepiece camera (not included) directly on it. If you would like to use a 
C-mount camera (not included), unscrew the top ring from the eyepiece adapter. You 
can then use it as a 1X C-mount for the camera. 
 
The parfocality between the eyepieces and the trinocular port has been preset before 
shipment and should not need adjustment. If necessary, however, you can rotate the 
parfocal ring in the eyepiece adapter to adjust the adapter height position and resulting 
parfocality.  
 

 

 

VI. Caring for your microscope 

As with any quality instrument, your microscope should be stored in a cool, dry place. 
Use the dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use. If necessary, clean the 
lenses with a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust.  
 
Avoid touching the optical surfaces directly and never disassemble the optical 
components of the microscope. When not using eyepieces, use the plastic covers to 
protect the eyepiece lens holders and ocular lens. 

V. Troubleshooting 

If you have a problem, you may be able to correct it yourself. Here are some common 
issues and easy solutions you can try before calling customer support for service.
