4. Unpacking
The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container and lift the
top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces) fall out and get dam-
aged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope from the container and put it
on a stable desk.
Do not touch with bare hands optical surfaces such as lenses, lters or glasses. Traces of grease or other
residuals may deteriorate the nal image quality and corrode the optics surface in a short time.
5. Intended use

croscope, remove the dust cover and install the camera ”C”
mount unit previously assembled. (Fig. 2)
4. Tighten the clamping screw rmly. (Fig. 3)
8.2 Connecting camera to PC

nector and the other terminal to a USB port on the computer.
(Fig. 4)
• NOTE: USB3.0 cameras can be connected to a USB2.0 port.
The camera will operate normally, with some limitations due
to improper power supply to the camera.
• The software in any case will warn that the USB3.0 cam-
era works in 2.0 mode indicating next to the camera name
“(USB2.0)”

8.4 Parfocality adjustment
In order to have the same focus when observing the specimen
through the eyepieces and on the screen/monitor, please check
that the microscope is properly installed and follow the instruc-
tions below.
1. Use a low power objective and focus the specimen.
2. Switch to the highest dry objective available on the micro-
scope (40x or 60x) and focus the specimen again.
3. Turn on the live-view on the camera, without changing the
focus on the microscope.
4. While observing the image on the screen/monitor, adjust the
focus by turning the knurled knob on the C-mount adapter.
(Fig. 6)
• Correct parfocality adjustment is achieved when the same
focus is reached when observing at the eyepieces and on
the screen.

9. Use of camera
The camera is driven by a software.
Two levels of software are available: PROVIEW and LITEVIEW.
Inside the package is enclosed a Function Table showing the several software functions.
It will be the user’s responsibility to decide which level of software best meets his needs.
The software can be downloaded from the site:
http://www.optikamicroscopes.com/optikamicroscopes/optika-support/download-drivers-softwares/
You will have to register to download the .zip le.
Once the le has been downloaded, you will have to run the setup.exe le.
At the end of the installation it is possible to start the software.
• NOTE: no driver installation is required for the cameras. The software setup procedure automatically installs
all the needed drivers for the correct operation of the camera.
The software’s User Manual is available in PDF format within the application itself and can be opened using the “F1” func-
tion key.
You must have Acrobat Reader installed to view the manual.
The manual contains all the operating instructions for using the camera and for the various functions of the software.
