Retiga 3000 USER MANUAL
Precautions
The CCD and other Retiga 3000 camera system electronics are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). To avoid permanently damaging the system, please observe the following precautions:
■
If you are using high-voltage equipment (such as an arc lamp) with your camera system, be sure to
turn the camera power
on last and power the camera off first .
■
Never connect or disconnect any cable while the camera system is powered on.
■
Although you should turn off the camera’s power supply before disconnecting any camera system
cable, you do not need to power off your computer to detach the cables.
■
Use caution when triggering high-current switching devices (such as an arc lamp) near your
system. The CCD can be permanently damaged by transient voltage spikes. If electrically noisy
devices are present, an isolated, conditioned power line or dedicated isolation transformer is highly
recommended.
■
Always leave at least one inch of space around the camera housing.
■
Never open the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Retiga 3000 camera.
Opening the camera voids the warranty.
■
Use only the integrated USB 2.0 interface, cables, and power supply designated for this camera
system. Using non-Retiga 3000 cables or power supplies may result in permanent damage to your
system.
■
Do not use a C-mount lens that has optics that extend behind the flange of the lens.
Environmental Conditions for Operation and Storage
Your Retiga 3000 camera system should be operated in a clean, dry environment. The camera system’s ambient
operating temperature is 0°C to 30°C with 80% relative humidity, noncondensing.
Store the Retiga 3000 camera system in its original containers. To protect the system from excessive heat, cold,
and moisture, store at an ambient temperature between -20°C and 60°C with a relative humidity of 0% to
90%, noncondensing.
Microscopes, Lenses, Tripods
Retiga 3000 has a standard threaded video mount and can be mounted to any microscope that accepts a
standard C-mount adapter. The camera also allows you to install any lens that is compatible with a standard
threaded video mount as long as its optics do not extend behind the flange of the lens.
The Retiga 3000 camera can be mounted to a tripod using the tripod mounting attachment located on the
bottom of the camera. See the Specifications chapter for more information.
