Photomicrography Using A Digital Camera And Videomicroscopy - Zeiss Axiovert 200 Operating Manual

Carl Zeiss
Attach the premounted camera system to the Frontport, align it horizontally and tighten clamping
screw (3-25/5) using the SW 3 ball-headed screwdriver.
Switch on the microscope and, when using a color film (artificial light), set the toggle switch for
illumination intensity (3-25/4) to 10.5 V (corresponds to the color temperature of 3200 K). The
voltage value can be directly read from the LCD display. To make this setting easier for you, the
increase of the lamp voltage stops at 10.5 V when the toggle switch is pressed down completely, and
a beep is emitted.
Should the illumination intensity be too high for the specimen, an attenuation filter must be used.
Select the object area to be photographed via the binocular tube.
To determine the image section and for exact focusing of the image, the adjusting eyepiece
should be equipped with the dia. 26 MC 10x photo reticle (see section 2.2.2).
After switching the beam path (3-25/6) from visual observation to the Frontport, 100 % of the light is
now available for the camera.
To operate the camera system, please observe the manufacturer's manual.
The magnification on the film is the product of objective magnification, Optovar magnification
and the factor 2.5 of the camera adapter.

3.4.3 Photomicrography using a digital
camera and videomicroscopy
The Axiovert 200 and Axiovert 200 M permit
the connection of one video camera or one
digital camera (e.g. AxioCam digital camera
from Zeiss, (3-26/1) to the Frontport via the
0.63/C-mount video adapter (3-26/2).
Attachment of the video adapter is performed
in the same way as the camera adapter
(described in section 3.4.2).
