  • First install attachment() to main unit( ) . Next, install attachment to cameras lens mount and secure.

    Take out eyepiece

    and install main unit().

    When inside diameter of

    eyepiece is 30mm, use

    conversion ring()

    When unstable, try to secure with duct tape, or have support unit beneath the camera.

    Insert main unit ( ) directly. When fixating screw is attached to phototube, use it to secure adapter tightly to phototube.

    Screw-in C-mount sleeve

    ( ) to microscopes

    C-mount. Install

    conversion ring ( ) to

    main unit(), and insert

    into C-mount sleeve.

    Fixate with screw at the

    side.

    Install NY-JIS fixation sleeve (sold separately) to JIS phototube. Then, insert main unit( ) into it and secure with screw at the side of NY-JIS.

    Compatible with direct (1.0x) c-mount only

    Install NY-BH fixation sleeve (sold separately) to PT phototube. Then, Insert main unit( ) into it and secure with screw at the side of NY-BH.

    In the following situations

    Display is black even with camera power on- Live view might be set off. Refer to manual P96 make sure live view feature is set on. - When setting manually, image will blackout if there is not enough light. Step by step, try to set ISO higher and lengthen the shutter speed so the image will be bright enough.

    - Please make sure you are using the correct optical path. It might be that image is not reaching the camera lens. It happens mostly with trinocular microscopes with changeable optical path. Flickering on image - Flickering may appear on the image when white balance or exposure is set on auto. In this case, please set manually. Flickering should disappear.

    - Turn off the camera, and turn on microscope light, then again turn on the camera. Image is too bright / too dark - Adjust exposure. In program mode adjust with exposure compensation, + button produces brighter, and button, produces darker images. In manual mode, longer shutter speed produces brighter and shorter shutter speed produces darker images.

    - High ISO produces brighter and low ISO produces darker images. Normally ISO should be set around 200.

    Grainy image - When ISO is set auto, sensitivity may rise automatically, resulting in a grainy image. In that case, set ISO manually around 100400.

    Out of focus - Except for a few microscopes, there is difference in focus between image you see in eyepiece and image on camera. Please focus while watching cameras live view image.

    - It may be suffering from hand movement. Try using remote control or self-timer to stabilize.

    Fluorescence photography When trying fluorescence photography, please take following tips into account. - Set ISO higharound 400-800 should help you detect even weak light excitation. - Slow shutter speedslower shutter speed provide brighter image. - StabilizeTry using remote control, or self-timer to avoid blurriness of hand movements. - Connect to TV monitor/PC, and try focus on large display.

    S11CF Ocular Micrometer for Digital Camera Adapter (scale 10mm / 100 split / pitch 0.1mm) Using together, S11CF enables you to capture image with scale.This special micrometer omitted the numbers entirely and moved scale to the periphery for clearer view.
