Installing a camera

• Screw the unit consisting of sliding mount (Fig. 32/4), thread adapter ring M37/52 (Fig. 32/3) and lens
mount (Fig. 32/6) into the adapter ring (Fig. 32/2).
• Insert the camera with adapter into the phototube as far as it will go. Align it and fasten it with the
clamping screw (Fig. 32/8).
• Depending on the microscope equipment or the camera used, it may be necessary to optimize the
distance between camera lens and lens mount (Fig. 32/6) (see double-headed arrow). This will be
necessary in particular, if it is impossible to obtain an unvignetted image in any of the zoom positions
of the camera lens. To this end, adjust the camera as follows:
− Switch off autofocus.
Set the object distance to ∞.
−
Set aperture-priority auto exposure mode.
−
Choose an aperture as large as possible (i.e. small aperture value!).
−
Not all cameras provide these options. Please consult the Operating Manual of the camera used.
• Loosen the set screw (Fig. 32/5).
• Vary the camera lens/lens mount distance gradually, i.e. displace the sliding mount with camera on
lens mount in defined steps.
• Zoom the camera lens through from wide angle (W) to tele position (T).
