6. 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.

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” function 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 soft-
ware.
8.1 WiFi camera connection
The camera is powered via USB cable (C-WF version) or via USB cable and/or rechargeable batteries (C-WFR
version).
• The camera connects to PC only and exclusively with a WiFi connection.
• There is no possibility to connect the camera to PC with a USB cable.
1. Connect the USB power cable to the camera.
2. In the Settings of your PC select the WiFi device C-WFR-xxxxx.
• The password for connecting the camera is “12345678”.
3. Launch the PROVIEW or LITEVIEW software.
4. Manage the camera using the software to control all function.
8.2 Use of the camera (C-WF)
1. Connect the USB power cable to the camera.
2. From “Camera List” panel in the software, click on the camera name (C-WFR).
3. Live image appears.
4. Manage the camera using the software to control all function.
8. Use of camera

Page 11
8.3 Use of the camera (C-WFR)
1. Connect the USB power cable to the camera.
• The camera is equipped with an ON-OFF switch ①
(Fig. 14) which allows you to recharge the batteries
(when the selector switch is set to “OFF”) or recharge
the batteries and turn the camera on (when the selector
switch is set to “ON”).
• If the selector switch is set to “OFF” the operating LED
② (Fig. 15) is o󰀨. When the selector switch is set to
“ON” the LED lights up. This indicates that the camera
is active.
• The camera also works when the power cable is dis-
connected. In this case the camera is only powered
with batteries.
2. From “Camera List” panel in the software, click on the
camera name (C-WFR).
3. Live image appears.
4. Manage the camera using the software to control all
function.
8.4 Parfocality adjustment
In order to have the same focus when observing the spec-
imen through the eyepieces and on the screen/monitor,
please check that the microscope is properly installed and
follow the instructions below.
8.4.1 Biological microscope
1. Use a low power objective and focus the specimen.
2. Switch to the highest dry objective available on the mi-
croscope (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. 16)
8.4.2 Stereo microscope 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. (Fig. 16)

8.4.3 Stereo microscope 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, un-
screw the xing knob ①of the trinocular port (Fig. 17)
and move up or down the movable part of the adapter
②until the focus is achieved on the camera. (Fig. 18)
5. Lock the xing knob ①. (Fig. 17)
The proper parfocality adjustment is obtained when the
same focus is reached when looking into the eyepieces
and on the screen/monitor.

6. Disimballaggio
L’apparecchio si trova in un imballaggio di polistirolo espanso stampato. Dopo aver tolto il nastro adesivo da
tutti gli imballi, sollevare la metà superiore dell’imballaggio. Fare attenzione a non far cadere o danneggiare i
componenti ottici.
Non toccare a mani nude superci ottiche come lenti, ltri o vetri. Tracce di grasso o altri residui
possono deteriorare la qualità dell’immagine nale e corrodere la supercie dell’ottica in breve tempo.
