Carefully thread the camera port (figure 21a) into the trinocular port in a
clockwise direction until tight.
Assemble the adapters and connect to the camera using the instructions
provided with the camera/adapter kit.
Note: Camera kit is not included with this microscope.
Remove the camera port dust cap (figure 21b), then slide the adapter into the
camera port.
Pull the prism slider (figure 21c) completely out to divert the image to the
camera port. The 1300 Series trinocular microscopes utilize an 80/20 split
sliding prism. This split prism diverts 80% of the light to the camera port and the
remaining 20% to the eyepieces when engaged. This allows the eyepieces to
be used while the prism slider is pulled out, although the image seen through
the eyepieces will be dim when compared to normal use.
Note: When the camera port is not in use, be sure to cover with the
camera port dust cap.
