Photo Tubes And C-Mounts - Leica M125 C User Manual

Photo Tubes and C-mounts

Application
All Leica DFC/DMC/MC cameras are equipped
with a standardized C-mount interface. In
turn, the C-mount adapter for the respective
trinocular tube is connected to this interface.
This adapter creates a solid mechanical connec-
tion between the microscope and camera and
ensures optimum rendering of the microscopic
image on the image sensor of the camera.
Usually, the ideal is for the digital camera
to capture as much of the field of vision as
possible, while excluding as much of the black
edge of the field of vision as possible. To do
so, the magnification factor of the C-mount
adapter must match the image format of the
sensor as closely as possible (see table).
If there is unwanted shading at the corners even
with a compatible C-mount adapter installed, it
can be corrected using the "Shading function"
of the camera software.

Alternatively, you can also use a C-mount
adapter with higher magnification. This
primarily avoids the critical border area of the
field of vision and concentrates on the center of
the field of vision.
Cameras from third-party suppliers
In addition to Leica cameras with the
standardized C-mount interfaces, you can
connect third-party cameras to the microscope
using a T2 bayonet adapter.

Photography & Video
To do so, instead of the C-mount adapter,
simply use the corresponding SLR adapter
with T2 connection. However, these third-
party cameras are not integrated into the Leica
Application Suite X and have to be operated
using the corresponding software from the
camera manufacturer.
The Leica digital cameras are detailed in a
separate user manual along with instructions
for their assembly and use.
