4. Unpacking
The device 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 fall out and get damaged.
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

8.3 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.
8.3.1 Biological microscope
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. 14)
8.3.2 Stereomicroscope with “C” mount adapter
1. Use a low power magnication and focus the specimen.
2. Reach the highest magnication available using the zoom
knob and then 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.

8.3.3 Stereomicroscope with projection lens
1. Use a low power magnication and focus the specimen.
2. Reach the highest magnication available using the zoom
knob and then 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, unscrew
the xing knob ① of the trinocular port (Fig. 15) and move
up or down the movable part of the adapter ② until the focus
is achieved on the camera. (Fig. 16)
5. Lock the xing knob ①. (Fig. 15)
The proper parfocality adjustment is obtained when the same
focus is reached when looking into the eyepieces and on the
screen/monitor.

9. Use of camera
For biological microscopes calibration
1 DIV=0.01mm
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.
