Use Of The Green Filter; Microphotography; Installing The C-Mount Adapter; Use Of Reflex Cameras - Optica B-380 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

10.4 Use of the green filter
• The green filter is used to increase the contrast
of the image during phase contrast observation.
• Place the filter on the field lens of the microscope
(Fig. 32) and begin the observation.
• For observation in brightfield or darkfield it is
advisable to remove the filter from the optical
path.

11. Microphotography

11.1 Installing the C-mount adapter

1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular
port and remove the dust cap ②. (Fig. 33)
2. Screw the C-mount adapter ③ to the camera ④
and insert the round dovetail of the C-mount into
the empty hole of the trinocular port, then tighten
the clamping screw ①. (Fig. 34)
11.2 Use of reflex cameras
1. Insert the Reflex adapter ② into the relay tube to
the microscope ①.
2. Screw the "T2" ring ③ (not provided) to the reflex
adapter.
3. Connect the Reflex camera ④ to the "T2" ring
just installed. (Fig. 35)
• "T2" ring is not provided along with the microsco-
pe, but is commercialy available.
• While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepie-
ces and viewfinder with a dark cloth to miminize
the diffused light.
• To calculate the magnification of the camera:
objective magnification * camera magnification *
lens magnification.
• When using an SLR camera, mirror mo-
vement may cause the camera to vibrate.
We suggest lifting the mirror, using long ex-
posure times and a remote cord.
