NOTICE
Loss of warranty
The Axiocam 506 color is delivered with an integrated IR filter (infrared cut
filter). The Axiocam 506 mono is delivered with an integrated BK7 protective
glas. This will protect the camera against dust and reduces optical interferences.
u
The IR filter is situated approx. 5 mm behind the outer edge of the C-mount
opening in the camera.
u
Due to this pre-mounted IR barrier filter, C-mount adapters that screw more
than 5 mm into the thread cannot be screwed into the camera.
u
Do not remove the filter or the protective glas otherwise the warranty will
be lost.
Procedure
1
Remove the dust cap from the camera’s C-mount port.
2
Screw the adapter in as far as it will go.
3
Mount the camera onto the microscope’s TV port. Ensure that no dust enters
the opening of the camera or the microscope’s TV port.
