Connecting equipment to the camera port on the binocular phototube
Adapter for Interface 60N (external thread M52 x 1)
The Axio Imager uses a new "Interface 60N" connector type to adapt the camera. The adapters
for "Interface 60" (inside diameter 30 mm), however, can continue to be used.
Microscope cameras (e.g. Carl Zeiss AxioCam), customary SLR cameras (Single Lens Reflex; 35 mm film or
digital) or compact digital cameras may be connected to the camera port.
When working with microphotographic devices, consult the corresponding manuals of the
cameras as well.
