3.6.1 Attaching photomicrography equipment
The Axioskop 40 / Axioskop 40 FL microscope equipped with a binocular phototube (3-29/ 5 ) can be
switched from observation to photomicrography using the push rod (3-29/ 7 ) (push rod pulled out).
The special T2 adapter 2.5x and other T2 adapters enable commercially available 35 mm SLR cameras
(SLR - single lens reflex) and special microscope cameras (e.g. MC 80
DX
or MC 200
CHIP
from Carl Zeiss)
to be attached to the 60 mm interface camera port of the binocular phototube.
For working with photomicrography equipment, please see the corresponding operating manuals in
addition to the information provided here.
Objective adapter rings with neutral filters should only be used for visual brightness compensation,
however, not in conjunction with phototubes for photographic purposes.
Depending on film sensitivity, using the neutral filter NG 0.10 may lead to a red cast.
When using the ergonomic binocular phototube 20°/23 with height adjustment (000000-1104-296), the
corners of the camera image may darken slightly at higher tube settings.

Zeiss-Service can accommodate a camera weight greater than 2.5 kg when required.
When using artificial color reversal film, the CB 3 conversion filter generates the correct color
temperature of 3200 K. The filter is switched on with the 3200 K color temperature key (3-1/
7 and
3-7/ 13 ). Lamp voltage must be set to the maximum setting (12 V).
For daylight color reversal film, you must use the CB 12 conversion filter in addition to the CB 3
conversion filter. This filter is placed on the dust protection glass of the luminous-field diaphragm.
