locking tabs on the connector as you plug in the connector. When the connector is plugged in all

Mounting the camera head on a microscope

on the camera head.
Screw it in as far as it will go.
4) Insert the C mount adapter into the vertical
tube of the microscope.

You can also attach a x0.7 relay lens.
