The ergo tube is designed for the 23 mm field of
view. For use on the Axiolab 5 it is recommended
for a maximum field of view of 22 mm. The
viewing angle is 20°.
The ergo photo tubes are equipped with a camera
port (

The camera ports can be used to mount a reflex
camera, a microscope camera or a video camera
with the aid of appropriate adapters.
The camera port may carry a maximum weight of
2.5 kg (camera plus cable). For a fee, the ZEISS
service personnel will equip your instrument with a
higher maximum load, if needed.
The ergo tubes allow a height adjustment range of 44 mm.
A larger range of adjustment can be used by swiveling the binocular section from the lower to the upper
observation position (depending on inter-pupillary distance).
