The photocamera can be mounted on the upper end of the microscope's trinocular tube with a C-mount adapter or, by removing the eyepiece, directly on the 23mm-diameter tube with a mechanical optical adapter.
The photocamera is connected to the PC via the supplied USB cable.
All the camera functions can be operated directly from the PC except for the switching on and off operations, which are done from the camera without having to remove it from its adapter on the microscope.
All the controls from the PC, the acquired images and the live image reach the USB port via the cable supplied with the photocamera.
Connect the photocamera to the computer.
In the program select:
from the Tools main menu -> Settings -> Digital Camera: Canon Power Shot
(series);
from the Tools main menu -> Settings ->Menu: Digital Camera;
restart the program;
from the Digital Camera main menu select Camera Setup.
The parameters displayed in the Setup dialog fields are read by the connected photocamera database and so can vary depending on the model used.
In the Setup dialog, besides all the camera functions, are 20 memories which can be associated with the 20 objective calibrations available in the program.
This allows you to keep the images acquired from the photocamera always correctly calibrated. By selecting an objective in the program, the camera memory previously associated with it is selected automatically.
The program also controls the photocamera's Optical Zoom.
Select the objective, select the memory and press SET.
The SET button saves all the camera
settings in use.
When you change the program's current objective, the camera
settings previously memorized will be restored maintaining the system
perfectly calibrated.
The 
button
activates the 320x240-pixel preview.
The 
button releases the shutter and loads the acquired
image.
If a database is open, the saved images are automatically related to the current record.
