iAdapter for 29mm microscope tube
The camera fits microscope photo or
viewing tubes with a diameter of 22.5mm;
the adapter enables the camera to be
attached to a 29mm tube.
jPower supply
This provides power for the exposure
system and film processing rollers. The
camera requires a 12V 1.2 amp power
supply. Insufficient power may cause the
developer rollers to turn too slowly
(resulting in photographs with uneven
density or incomplete images); this also
may cause the display and/or exposure
system to function erratically. Too much
power can damage the camera.
The camera is shipped with either a
120V, 60 Hz power supply (PID 618091),
or a 100-240V, 50/60 Hz power supply
(PID 618089). Replacement power
supplies also are available: 120V, 60 Hz
(PID 618092); 100-240V, 50/60 Hz (PID
618090).
The microscope
Good photomicrographs are dependent
on good microscopy. Unless the
microscope is properly adjusted to
provide a good visual image, you cannot
produce a good photomicrograph. You
should be fully familiar with your
microscope, and how to adjust it for
photography. See pages 9-12 for basic
microscopeinformation.
Attach the camera to the microscope
The camera should be attached to the
stationary (non-adjustable) viewing tube
or to the photo tube, if preferred.
1Remove the eyepiece from the
microscope viewing tube (2).
2If necessary, attach the 29mm adapter;
slide the adapter all the way over the
camera’s microscope fitting (3), then
screw it on.
3Orient the camera as shown (4), and
insert the fitting into the microscope tube.
Check that the camera is firmly seated.
If the camera rotates on the tube,
tighten the thumbscrew to hold it in
position.
4Plug the power supply into an appro-
priate electrical outlet and then into the
camera (5).
