CAMERA BASICS

The Rolera Bolt's image capture capabilities are controlled entirely by your imaging software. Basic

functionalities include exposure time control, gain, bit depth changes, region-of-interest (ROI) selection, etc. For

information describing how to implement changes to the cameras parameters, refer to the imaging software's

instruction manual.

To turn the Rolera Bolt on, all you need to do is connect the camera to your computer using the USB 2.0 cable.

This connection should automatically power on the Rolera Bolt. Refer to this step for all system configurations

ensuring that the USB cable(s) are connected as specified. If power is supplied, the GREEN LED will turn on.

The Rolera Bolt connects directly to widely available C-mount optics, which are standard on most microscopes

and lenses.

To attach the camera to a microscope

Carefully thread the camera onto the microscope's C-mount adapter, rotating the camera until it is mounted

securely. Use the microscope controls to adjust focus.

To attach a C-mount lens to the camera

Carefully thread the C-mount lens onto the camera's lens ring, rotating the lens in a clockwise direction until it

is mounted securely. Use the lens controls to adjust focus.

To attach F-mount optics

If you wish to use an F-mount connection, you will need to use a C to F mount adapter. Once acquired,

carefully thread the camera to the C-mount end of the C to F mount adapter, rotating the camera until it is

mounted securely. Then, carefully connect your F-mount optics to the open connector of the adapter until it is

mounted securely. Use your optics controls to adjust focus.
