NOTICE
Loss of warranty
The Axiocam 512 color is delivered with an integrated IR filter (infrared cut filter). The Axiocam
512 mono is delivered with an integrated BK7 protective glas. This will protect the camera
against dust and reduces optical interferences.
4
The IR filter is situated approx. 5 mm behind the outer edge of the C-mount opening in
the camera.
4
Due to this pre-mounted IR barrier filter, C-mount adapters that screw more than 5 mm
into the thread cannot be screwed into the camera.
4
Do not remove the filter or the protective glas otherwise the warranty will be lost.
1. Remove the dust cap from the camera’s C-mount port.
2. Screw the adapter in as far as it will go.
3. Mount the camera onto the microscope’s TV port. Ensure that no dust enters the opening
of the camera or the microscope’s TV port.
