camera adapter.
−
Sideport (right or left) for connecting record-keeping equipment via a 60N mm port.

The following table gives a detailed overview of image orientation at the Axio Observer materials camera
outputs.
The descriptions are based on an object, such as a stage micrometer, with readable figures or letters to
illustrate the orientation:
Original object:

The object is placed on the microscope stage with the
readable side
, as shown above,
towards the

and then appears, as viewed from above by the microscope user, as follows:
This view is the reference view for the following
description.
Also viewed from above, a movement of the specimen stage in the Y direction backwards (thick arrow)
and in the X direction to the right (thin arrow) looks like this:
For a given viewing angle for a particular stand component, the table provides the following information:
the intermediate image of the object / monitor image, as captured by the camera, and the direction of
