1. Remove the protective cap from the photo tube.
2. Insert the adapter into the photo tube.
3. When using the photo adapter MML2042, mount
the appropriate T2 ring to the adapter.
Connect the photo camera to the T2 ring via a
bayonet coupling. In case of video adapter
MML2047, screw the video camera directly to the
adapter.
4. Pull out the light path divider until there is resis-
tance. The light runs through the adapter.
5. The microscope with the photo camera or video
camera is now put in operation. In case of a 10x
