B. To adapt a video camera, an adapter tube is required. (Fig. 5). This adapter includes a 0,5X lens for
videos that measures the correct parfocality between the images of the binocular and vertical ports
shown as an image on the TV monitor. The adapter tube also includes a "C" knurled ring and a "CS"
type ring to accommodate different types of video cameras.
1. To install the camera to the microscope, screw the adapter tube to the video camera.
2. Loosen the knurled screw (Fig. 6) located on the side of the vertical port of the head, until the
protective cap can be removed.
3. Insert the adapter tube with the camera already connected to the vertical port. If it does not
connect easily, unscrew the knurled screw until the adapter tube fits in, and is secure in place.
4. Tighten the screw, to secure the camera.
5. Place the sliding rod, to mid or extended position to allow the image to be projected to the
camera.
6. Operate the camera according to the manufacturers instructions.
7. If the image on the TV monitor does not appear in focus when the objective is changed, this is
possibly due to the "CS" mount. Place it, or remove it, according to the procedure to obtain
parfocality.
