18. Microphotography
18.1 Use of C-mount cameras
1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular port and re-
move the dust cap ②. (Fig. 47)
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. 48)
18.2 Use of Reflex cameras
1. Insert the Reflex adapter ② into the relay tube ①.
2. Screw the "T2" ring ③ (not provided) to the reflex adapter.
•
"T2" ring is not provided along with the microscope, but is
commercially available.
3. Connect the Reflex camera ④ to the "T2" ring just installed.
(Fig. 49)
4. Mount the other end of the relay tube ① into the empty hole
of the trinocular port, then tighten the clamping screw. (Fig.
47)
•
While shooting dark specimens, darken eyepieces and view-
finder with a dark cloth to minimize the diffused light.
•
To calculate the magnification of the camera: objective magni-
fication * camera magnification * lens magnification.
•
If using an SLR camera, mirror movement may cause the
camera to vibrate.
•
We suggest lifting the mirror, using long exposure times
and a remote cord.
