1Basic Characteristic
This camera is a multiple interfaces (HDMI+WiFi+SD card, so Xhere means multiple interfaces) CMOS
camera with autofocus function (Fmeans autofocus) and it adopts ultra-high performance Sony CMOS sensor
as the image-picking device. HDMI+WiFi are used as the data transfer interface to HDMI display or computer.
For HDMI output, The XCamView will be loaded and a camera control panel and toolbar are overlaid on
the HDMI screen, in this case, the USB mouse can be used to set the camera, browse and compare the captured

2The Camera Rear Cover Function
Figure 7 The Layout of Camera Rear Cover
The camera is a HDMI camera with auto focus function. Through the precise control of the sensor position, the
image can be focused automatically for the stereo or biological microscope. However, this autofocus principle will
destruct the microscope’s imaging conjugate principle and we think only a minor focus adjustment can be made to
keep the image with high quality.
But for the online basic observation, the camera can greatly increase the working efficiency and eliminate
manual focus operations.

position calibrated while ensuring that the camera video window is clear as
well as image seen from eyepiece is clear. Suggest users do Conjugate
Correction when using the camera for the first time to ensure the camera
sensor at the standard C-mount position. This ensures the object plane,
eyepiece image plane and camera adapter image
plane at the standard
position;
Note: 1) When height of the specimen changes, users must make sure the
sensor at the standard C-mount position while adjusting the coarse and fine
focus knob of microscope to focus; 2) Before doing measurement please do
Conjugate Correction
to make sure accuracy of the measurement results
(please refer to Measurement Toolbar> Conjugate Correction...for details).
