8.2  Camera connection (only for trinocular version) 

 
Due  to  the  trinocular  tube,  which  can be  optionally  fitted for  the  OKN-1  and  OKO-1 
series, it is possible to connect microscope cameras to the device, in order to digitally 
record images or sequences of images of an object being observed. 
 
After the plastic cover has been removed from the camera adapter connector on the 
top of the microscope head, then a suitable adapter must be fitted. 
In  general  there  are  two  C-mount  adapters  available  for  this  (1x  and  0.57x 
magnification, 

see Chapter 3 Features

). After fitting one of  these adapters it can be 

fixed with the fixing screw. A camera which has a C-mount thread is then screwed on 
top of the adapter. 
 
We  recommend  that  you  first  adjust  the  field  of  view  using  the  eyepieces  on  the 
device  for  the  existing  requirements,  and  then  carry  out  the  observation  using  the 
microscope camera (i.e. using the PC screen which is connected). 
To  do  this,  the  trinocular  toggle  rod  on  the  righthand  side  of  the  microscope  head 
must  be  pulled  out.  The  light  from  the  microscope  lighting  is  deflected  so  that  it  is 
completely in the beam path for the camera, which causes a dark field of view in the 
eyepieces.  This  means  that  it  is  not  possible  to  simultaneously  observe  by  the 
eyepieces and PC screen.  
 
For  C-mount  adapters,  which  have  their  own  integrated  magnification,  the  image 
which  is  shown  on  the  camera  connected  to  the  device  can  often  have  a  different 
level of focus compared with the image on the eyepiece. 
In  order  to  be  able  to  bring  both  images  into  focus,  the  focus  can  be  adjusted  by 
those adapters. 
 
 

8.3  Dark field units (Transmitted light) 

OKO-1 

 
There  are  two  different  ways  to  carry  out  dark  field 
applications. 
 
1.  A  dark  field  attachment  with  an  integrated  black  disk  can 

be  screwed  into  the  standard  condenser  of  the 
microscope from below 

(see right illustration)

To do this, the condenser must first be removed from the 
holder. As well as the blue filter on its underside. 
 

2.  A special dark field condenser can be used in place of the 

standard  condenser.  This  as  a  cardioid  construction  and 
also  meets  the  requirements  of  professional  application 
fields, in contrast to the dark field attachment.
