Digital cameras
Digital cameras are designed to be used on the photo port of the microscope head. It is also
possible to use the digital camera in combination with a binocular head. For infinity type iScopes,
simple remove the eyepiece[1] and place the 30mm adapter ring into the eyepiece tube[2] then
place the camera with mounted c-mount adapter the eyepiece tube[3]. Focus the digital image
with the coarse and fine controls of the microscope. For finite(160mm) iScopes the procedure is
the same but there is no need to use an eyepiece tube[2].
For trinocular models, slide the camera with mounted c-mount adapter into the 23,2mm tube of
the phote port. For focussing slowly unscrew the tube (A) you will be able to match parfocality of
the camera with the view through the eyepieces by moving the camera up and down inside the
23,2mm tube. Take an easy-to-view specimen and focus the image through the microscope’s
eyepieces (with dioptre adjustment set on “0”). Afterwards, perform the height adjustment
procedure above while watching the image on the computer screen. In this case, once you have
obtained parfocality in the device, tighten screw (A) again. Screw (B) is only used to fix the
23,2mm tube on the iScope’s photo port.
Follow the manual that comes with the camera for camera operation.
