Adjusting the Condenser & Diaphragm
1.
Using the condenser-adjustment knob, you can change the distance between the light condenser and the stage.
This allows you to control the concentration of the light hitting your slide.
2.
By changing the aperture (hole size) of the iris diaphragm, you can adjust the background brightness. Adjust the
aperture of the iris diaphragm using the iris adjustment slider located directly under the stage.
3.
If you want to use a color filter, swivel the filter holder out, towards you. You can now place the desired color
filter into the circular opening. Slide the filter holder back to original position before observation.
Note: The filter holder is placed in from the factory in a manner in which it swings out and hits the arm of the
microscope (backwards). If this happens, simply grip the condenser assembly and rotate it. It may take a small
amount of force to rotate it, but after doing so, you will be able to swing the filter holder out towards the front of
the unit for easier operation.
Using the Trinocular Port
The AmScope ME520T model is uniquely designed so that you can view the image through the eyepieces and the
trinocular port simultaneously, as well as fine tune the focus of the camera with a C-mount focus adjustment.
This “parfocal” feature allows the images through the microscope’s eyepieces, and those displayed on your com-
puter screen or television be viewed at the same time. You do not need an adapter to attach your AmScope camera
to the trinocular port, however you may need one if you have a non-AmScope camera. Our photo port is a 23mm
size.
Attaching a Camera
1.
If your camera has a C-mount, simply screw the camera onto the trinocular port.
2.
If your camera has a 23mm mounting size, remove the C-mount from the top of the trinocular port by loosening
the screw. Then, drop the camera directly into the trinocular port. It should slide in without issue.
3.
To focus through the trinocular port, simply turn middle portion of the tube.
