7.1 Camera connection

Due to an additional beam exit at the rear of the microscope it is possible to connect
microscope cameras to the device, in order to digitally record images or sequences
of images of an object being observed.
After removing the plastic cover on the camera adapter (C-mount 0.5x), which is
already located on the camera connection on the back of the microscope, a camera
that has a C-mount thread can now be screwed onto the adapter.
The following steps are recommended for optimal mounting:
1. Loosen the locking screw [4] on the camera connection [3] and remove the C-
mount adapter [2].
2. Screw the C-mount adapter [2] onto the microscope camera [1].
3. Connect the microscope camera [1] together with the C-mount adapter [2] to
the camera connection [3] and tighten the locking screw [4] again.
The light from the microscope illumination is permanently provided in the beam path
for both the camera and the eyepieces, so that analog and digital observation is
always possible simultaneously.
