Frequently Asked Questions
Which phototube standard should I use if my microscope is an older model?
Older models may use Optiphot, Biophot, or SMZ-2T trinocular standards. For JIS models (φ25mm), you need the NY-JIS sleeve.
How do I connect a CCD camera adapter using the C-mount?
First, install the C-mount adapter into your microscope's C-mount. Then, insert the main unit (with φ30mm conversion ring) and secure it with the side screw.
What steps are required for initial focusing of a captured image?
Monitor the LCD viewer and use the microscope’s focus handle to focus while watching the screen. There is a difference in focus level between the eyepiece and the digital camera viewpoint.
How can I perform a manual setting (M) capture instead of easy semi-auto mode?
Rotate the MODE DIAL to M, press FOCUS MODE and select [MF]. Then set ISO sensitivity and F/number (aperture) or SHUTTER SPEED manually.
