Tilting the camera (Fig. 21)
Slightly loosen the locking screw and tilt the camera
to the desired angle, then lock the screw again.
Rotating the horizontal arm (Fig. 22)
Loosen the horizontal arm fixing knob ④ and rotate the
microscope.
► NOTE: 180° rotation of the camera with respect to
the base could cause a rollover of the entire
system.

6.2 Using the base (IS-03)
Adjusting the Mount Bracket Resistance
1. Product is brilliantly engineered to control the resistance in the Tilter Mount Bracket to suit swing side to side
of 90 degree and tilt forward and backward of 90 degree. It is possible to control the amount of resistance in
the Tilter Mount Bracket.
2. If the Tilter Mount Bracket tends to automatically fall, it may be required to adjust the Tilter Mount Bracket
joint to suit your microscope tilt position of forward and backward of 90 degree. This can be done by using
Hex Allen Wrench 6mm to increase the resistant of the Tilter Mount Bracket in order to secure tilt position,
adjust the M5x15mm Tension Hex Socket Cap Screw located around the Tilter Mount Bracket Joint using
6mm Hex Allen Wrench. (See Figure 5).
3. To increase or decrease the resistance of the Pivot Joint to suit microscope swing side to side, adjust the
Tension Hex Cap Screw located on front side of the Articulating Arm to secure the position.
4. To increase the resistance, tighten the M5x15mm Tension Hex Cap Screw using Allen Wrench 4mm in a
clockwise direction. To decrease the resistance, loosen the M5x15mm Tension Hex Cap Screw using Allen
Wrench 4mm supplied in an anti-clockwise direction.
5. This equipment can be lift up and down as shown. If this product tends to automatically move to side, it may
be required tension adjustment on the Articulating Arm to suit your microscope arm swing to side position.
This can be done by using Hex Allen Wrench 2.5mm supplied.

6.3 Using the camera (C-HAF)
Camera is supplied with an “on screen” menu, which is activated when the mouse cursor is positioned in the
upper left corner of the monitor r.
Moving the cursor to a different area the menu disappears.

1. “Control” Menu
The “Control” panel is divided into different sections related to the various camera controls.
1.1 “Focus” section controls the focusing of the camera.
It is possible to work either in autofocus (AF) or manual focus (MF).
Clicking on “AF” camera will work in autofocus mode.
It will be sufficient to position the subject to be observed in front of the camera lens and the focus will be
obtained in less than 1 second.
The autofocus will be independent of the optical or digital zoom value of the camera: the camera must have
enough contrast in the sample to be observed.
In the case of objects with low contrast, it is possible that the camera cannot get the focus. In this case we
recommend using manual focus.

Clicking on “MF” camera will work in manual focus mode. Activation of the MF button automatically activate
the keys “MF+” e “MF-“, with which you can act on focusing the camera without having to act on the
mechanical support, simply by using the mouse.
Clicking on “Click F” the camera is taught which is the optimal focus for the sample that is being observed.
From now on, any movement that will be made on the sample or any change in zoom will have to be
compensated again with a new focus.
If you work in “AF” mode, this operation will not be necessary.
1.2 “Exposure” section controls the exposure time and the brightness of the camera.
The camera can work in automatic exposure. By activating the “AE” function, the camera works completely
automatically. In this case it is not possible to act on the parameters of the camera, therefore in situations of
insufficient lighting it is possible that the camera cannot provide optimal image quality.
By activating the “ME” the camera works manually. It is therefore necessary to act on the camera parameters to
adapt the exposure time to the lighting condition of the sample.
Moving the slider relative to “Bright” increases or decreases the exposure time of the camera. Depending on
the amount of light that is used to illuminate the sample under examination, you will have to move to the right
(increase) or to the left (decrease) the cursor to get a perfectly lit image avoiding under or overexposure.
The cursor relative to the “Gain” commands the so-called “gain” of the camera. The gain is a function that allows
you to increase the sensitivity of the camera for shooting in low light. This obviously increases the background
noise.

1.3 “Color” section controls the color rendering of the camera.
Activating the “AWB” function uses automatic white balance. Place a blank sheet of paper in front of the camera
sensor and click “AWB”. The camera adjusts the colors output from the camera to the color temperature of the
scene being shot.
Activating the “MWB” function uses manual white balance. In this case it is necessary to move the sliders related
to Red, Green and Blue to obtain a faithful reproduction of what is being observed.
1.4 “Function” section controls the image display on the monitor.

The “Zoom” cursor allows to vary the magnification of the projection to the monitor of the framed object.
It is possible to change the zoom factor (optical zoom) from 1x to 14x both by acting on the cursor in the
“Control” panel or by acting on the zoom bar located at the bottom right of the monitor.
The camera also allows you to use an electronic zoom (from 1x to 6x), activating the “Ezoom” selector.
The variation of the electronic zoom factor will occur only and exclusively acting on the buttons at the bottom
right of the monitor.

It is possible to capture single images or videos simply by clicking on the “Capture” button for single images or
on “Video” for movie sequences of desired length.
The “Flip” function flips the framed image vertically, while the “Mirror” function horizontally flips it. This is useful
for making what is observed in the camera consistent with the real object.
The “HDR” function (High Dynamic Range) optimizes the image quality in the case of subjects with very clear
framed areas together with very dark areas. Often in these conditions the camera favors or clear areas (omitting
the dark areas making them black) or dark areas (with a consequent overexposure of the light areas, making
them almost white).
An “HDR” setting of 0 indicates that the camera will acquire a single image and store it. Increasing the number
(max 3) the camera acquires 3 images at different exposures (usually one uderexposed, one with
optimal exposure and one overexposed), combines them to optimize the different zones with different lighting
and creates a single image at exposure “virtually correct”.
