11.1 Installing the C-mount adapter

1. Loosen the clamping screw ① on the trinocular port and re-
move the dust cap ②. (Fig. 38)
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 (Fig. 39), then tighten the clamping screw ①.
11.2 Use of reflex cameras

(Fig. 40)

of the trinocular port, then tighten the clamping screw. (Fig.

• "T2" ring is not provided along with the microscope, but is
commercially available.
• 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 mag-
nification * camera magnification * lens magnification.
• When 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.
