Mounting the camera onto the microscope
To mount the camera onto your microscope’s TV port, use a 1.0x or a 0.63x
C-mount adapter.
Suitable adapters (example):
Port 44
Port 60
1.0 x
No. 452995 (44 C2/3" 1.0x)
No. 456105 (60 C2/3" 1.0x)
0.63 x
No. 452997 (44 C2/3" 0.63x)
No. 1069-414 (60 C2/3" 0.63x)
For the Axiovert 25 please use adapter 451268.
The adapters are not supplied with the camera.
To mount the camera onto the microscope, remove the dust cap from the
camera’s C-mount port. Screw the adapter in as far as it will go. Then mount
the camera onto the microscope’s TV port. Please ensure that no dust enters
the opening on the camera.
Never touch the surface of the infrared barrier filter or CCD sensor
with your fingers. If you remove the camera from the microscope,
make sure you immediately cover the C-mount opening with the
dust cap provided, to prevent dust getting in.
Function indicator
After you have switched on the PC or the FireWire hub, the LED on the
camera lights up in red for a short time, before changing to green. If the LED
goes out instead of turning green, this indicates that the camera’s firmware is
not functioning correctly. In this case please consult the notes in the section
"Resetting the AxioCam MRc5 firmware".
As a rule, if the LED is green, this indicates that power is being properly
supplied to the AxioCam MRc5 via the data cable.
During continuous image acquisition, the color of the LED switches between
red (exposure) and green (ready).
