Page 3: Overview
Overview Manufactured by Domaille Engineering, LLC, the DE8800 Series Video Microscopes are designed for high quality visual end-face inspection of fiber optic connectors in a research or production environment. This scope has a unique stage with inverted optics allowing the operator to inspect connectors, without removing them from the polishing fixture thereby increasing throughput during inspection. -

We do not recommend any of the lower priced security type monitors as the resolution and image quality are not sufficient. A computer may also be used to capture images, contact Domaille Engineering for more information on digital camera options or video frame grabbers. -

Operation Focusing and Focus Tension Adjustments Focus In The Focus Adjustment Knob on the DE8800 series is conveniently located on each side of the base. Both course and fine adjustment are provided. A tension adjustment is also located Focus Out on the right side of the scope. -
Page 8: Determining Actual Magnification
Determining Actual Magnification The best method to calculate the exact “total” magnification used on the DE8800 series is to measure the diameter of the fiber, cladding on the video display. Take the measurement in millimeters and divide that amount by the actual size of the fiber cladding, typically 125 micron. The result is the “total” optical and video magnification being used. For example: taking a set of calipers, we measured the diameter of the ferrule viewed through DE8800 on a monitor to be approximately 53.49mm. -

X-Axis Y-Axis turn for X-Axis turn for Y-Axis Changing Inserts All inserts, except DE8134, simply lift up and out of the stage assembly. This enables operators to quickly change inserts to accommodate different types of connectors when inspecting jumpers with different types of connectors. The DE8134 12 position insert for Domaille and Seikoh Giken 510 polishers is fixed directly to the stage assembly. Use a hex wrench to loosen the release screw in the back stage. -

Note: The DE8800 series microscopes are relatively low maintenance. Basic care and precaution in using the instrument is required. Depending upon the cleanliness of the general working area as well as the age of the equipment, we would suggest... -
Page 11: General Cleaning
General Cleaning Harsh solvents are not recommended on a regular basis. Typical safe degreaser solvents can be used to clean old grease or grime from mechanical parts. Ordinary lens cleaner (offered at most photo/camera supply stores) is safe to use on the optics of our microscopes. -
Page 12: Cleaning The Dust Cover
Cleaning the Dust Cover Depending the type of production environment, the dust cover will need periodic cleaning to remove dust, debris and polishing material from the optical system. Since the illumination and optical path travels though the dust cover it is essential to keep this surface clean in order to ensure maximum performance of the DE8800. -
Page 13: Cleaning The Objective Lenses
Cleaning Objective Lenses Oils, dirt, and finger prints may reduce the resolving power of the objective lenses. To ensure maximum levels of performance of the DE8800 series, wipe the lens of the objectives with a lint-free tissue and lens cleaner. Ordinary lens cleaner, available at most photography supply stores works the best. - Page 14 Due to the orientation of the CCD, if the dirt remains in the same spot and does not rotate with the camera, the dirt is most likely on the camera itself. Carefully unscrew the camera from the camera mount. Using clean, compressed air, blow across the surface of the IR filter.

Page 15: Troubleshooting Advice
Troubleshooting Advice Image is Not Clear Try adjusting the focus mechanism to bring the image into focus. Increase or decrease the light intensity on the fiber optic light source. Adjust to 5x objective and verify fiber is in the field of view. Check the set-up, confirm that all connections are No Illumination made and that everything is powered on. Increase the light intensity on the fiber optic light source. Check the fiber optic light source, replace it if neces- sary. No Video Image Check the set-up, confirm that all connections are made and that everything is powered on. -

Loss of Resolution or Check the objective lenses for dirt, scratches or film. Image Contrast Adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor. Make sure the impedance switch on the back of the monitor is set to 75Ω. Check the CCD camera for dirt and film. Make sure the shutter on the CCD is set to the OFF position. - Page 17 DE8166: 6 position MT-RJ insert with indexing Domaille DE8153-N: 10 position MT PC and APC Insert Domaille DE8153: 10 position MT PC and APC Insert Domaille DE8134: 12 position Insert with indexing Domaille Seiko Giken 510 DE8121: 12 position Insert Domaille Seiko Giken 510...
