Installing Objectives
1.
Unscrew the deck knob at the front of the instrument until the top
deck releases and raise the top deck until it latches open. Unscrew the
black cap (or previously installed objective) on top of the optics block
and screw in the objective. Do not overtighten. To lower the top deck,
activate the release lever at the right rear hinge, lower the deck, and
tighten the deck knob.
2.
When installing or changing an objective, carry out the insertion
quickly to minimize dust falling onto the mirrored dichroic filter. A
small amount of dust will not affect imaging. However, if dust is
significant and it appears to affect quality of the live image or snapped
images, contact Etaluma by email (
).

About Lumaview
1.
The LS720 is controlled by the Lumaview software program. The latest Lumaview version is
downloadable from Etaluma’s website and must be installed
prior to connecting your computer
for the first time.
2.
Lumaview requires Windows 10. Desktop computers and laptops can be used, but the best
visualization correlates with monitor resolution equal to the sensor resolution (up to 1900 x
1900 pixels). Note: The monitor does not affect image resolution unless the monitor is low
quality and affects your ability to judge focus.
The computer should have Windows .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher installed; see
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150
for more information.
If your computer does not have .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher installed, downloading
Lumaview may automatically take you to the Microsoft .NET download page. Scroll down the
page to find the correct download. You can also download it directly from here:

This does not require a purchase.
