Fitting And Adjusting A Camera (Ozl 464, Ozl 466, Ozl 468) - KERN OZL-46 User Instructions

5.9 Fitting and adjusting a camera
(OZL 464, OZL 466, OZL 468)
You can connect special microscope cameras to trinocular devices in the OZL-46 series, so that
you can digitally record images or sequences of objects being observed.
The connection for this is on the top side of the microscope head.
When the trinocular toggle rod is pulled out, the beam path, which
normally emits on the righthand eyepiece, is diverted in the tube,
so that it can be used for the camera adapter connection.
This means that when the device is used in trinocular mode, you will
see one image in the left eyepiece and one on the monitor of the
microscope camera.
This means that the 3D effect is lost.
To fit a microscope camera properly, you must use an adapter with
a C-mount thread, which needs to be attached to the camera
connection point.
In total there are three focusable adapters to choose from (see figure below). The
difference between these adapters is that they have different integrated magnification
(0.3x, 0.5x, 1.0x).
The camera and adapter are then united using the C-mount thread.
C-mount adapter
The image which is shown on the camera connected to the device can often have a
different level of focus compared with the image on the eyepiece. In order to be able
to bring both images into focus, the focus can be adjusted by those adapters
when turning the attached black plastic ring.
