B.
To adapt a video camera an adapter tube is needed. This adapter tube includes 0.5X lenses that
correct the parfocality of images, from both binocular and vertical ports, shown on the TV monitor.
This is providing that parfocality has been correctly adjusted according to the steps followed in point
“D. Changing magnification” in this manual.
The adapter tube is provided with a “C” thread, and a “CS” ring which can adapt different kinds of
video camera.
To connect the camera to the microscope, screw the adapter tube to the video camera.
1. Loosen the knurled screw (Fig.2) on the side of the vertical port of the head sufficiently enough
to remove the protective cover.
2. Insert the adapter tube with the camera already mounted on the vertical port, as shown in figure
4. If it does not insert easily, unscrew the knurled screw until the adapter tube fits perfectly.
3. Re-tighten the knurled screw firmly, so that the camera is secure.
4. Operate the camera according to manufacturers instructions.
If the image on the monitor appears out of focus when the objective is changed, it is possible that the
CS mount is responsible. Place, or remove it, according to the procedure to obtain parfocality.
