Photomicrography with SLR camera
The Axio Observer microscopes 5, 5 materials and 7, 7 materials permit the beam path to be switched to
100% vis (visual observation through eyepieces and an open position for activation of the right or left
sideport), 100% frontport (port pointing to the front for photomicrography) or 100% baseport (port
pointing downwards).
Since this is a 100% switching position,
simultaneous visual observation during
photography is not possible.
The V200 T2 2.5x adapter for SLR and the camera-
specific T2 adapter permit commercially available
35 mm SLR (DSLR) cameras to be connected to the
microscope.

•
Select the object area to be photographed via the binocular tube.
•
After switching the beam path (Fig. 162/
7
) from visual observation to the frontport, 100 % of the
light is now available for the camera.

To operate the camera system, please observe the manufacturer's manual.
The photographic magnification on the film or image sensor is the product of objective
magnification, Optovar magnification and the 2.5 factor of the V200 T2 2.5x SLR camera
adapter.
