Connection methods and types
1. Remove dust plug from the C-mount on the bottom of the camera.
2. Thread C-mount adapter into C-mount of camera. For the SKYE WiFi 3, the optimal C-mount
adapter magnification is 0.5x. NOTE: Hold the camera and adapter sideways to minimize any
dust from entering the camera. Dust degrades the image quality.
3. Set the bottom of the C-mount adapter (with camera attached) into the camera port of the
microscope and secure in place with the locking screw.
Some microscopes may require other adapters to attach the camera to the microscope. Please
consult your microscope manual, microscope sales representative or the microscope manufacturer for
the required adapter(s).
