C. To mount CCTV camera, optional accessory #930-005 video adaptor (d.) is required. This adaptor has an 0.5x
lens which assures image parfocality when viewed through a video monitor.
Observe that video adaptor has two black knurled rings. If your CCTV camera has a 1/2 inch chip, leave both
knurled rings in place, thereby creating a "CS" type mount. If your CCTV camera has a 1/3 inch chip, remove
only the top black knurled ring from c-mount by turning counter-clockwise. The remaining black knurled ring is
a "C" type adaptor.
Remove front lens from CCTV camera. Thread front of camera onto threads of video adaptor (d.).
VI. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, TURN SWITCH OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING YOUR MICROSCOPE. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD, IF POWER
CORD IS WORN, CUT OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED AT ONCE.
A.
OPTICAL MAINTENANCE
1.
Do not attempt to disassemble any lens component. Consult an expert technical service company when
repairs not covered by these instructions are required.
2.
Prior to cleaning any lens surface, brush dust or dirt off lens surfaces using a camel hair brush. Or use
air to blow dust and lint off surfaces. Use of compressed air in a can, available at any computer supply
store, is a good source of clean air.
3.
Cleaning eyepiece lenses.
Do not remove eyepiece from eyepiece tube. Clean only the outer surface. Breath on lens to dampen
surface, then wipe with lens paper. Do not wipe lens surface while dry as lenses are scratched very
easily. Wipe a circular motion from center to outer edges.
4.
Cleaning objective lenses.
Do not remove objective lenses from microscope. Clean front lens element only. Using a cotton swab
saturated with distilled water, clean front lens surface. Inspect the lens using a magnifying glass to
insure that the element is clean. If immersion oil or specimen material of any kind is evident, use a
cotton swab dipped in a small amount of Windex to clean all foreign material from objective lens surface.
Such material will reduce, or totally block, image quality.
Locate knurled screw located on side of trinocular port (a.) on
microscope. Turn screw counter-clockwise to permit removal of
black plastic disk covering trinocular port.
Insert video adaptor tube into trinocular port. If adaptor does not
insert easily, further loosen knurled screw at side of port until
adaptor tube drops into port and is firmly seated.
