2.6 Using the Trinocular Port
The AmScope T720 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.
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.
2.7 Attaching a Camera
Most AmScope cameras come with a reduction lens.
Reduction lenses align the magnification of the
microscope’s image with the capacity of the digital
camera’s sensor.
The specimen’s image seen through the magnified
objective lens is very large. The reduction lens renders
the image in a size compatible with the smaller size of
the digital camera’s sensor.
1. If your camera has a 23mm mounting size, you do
not need the C-mount adapter. If installed, remove
the C-mount from the top of the Trinocular port by
loosening the screw.
2. Place the camera (mounted on a reduction lens)
directly into the Trinocular port. It should slide in
without issue.
3. Focus through the Trinocular port, by turning the
middle portion of the tube.
4. Open up your AmScope Digital Camera Solution
software on your computer and let it connect to your
microscope.
If your camera needs a C-mount adapter, attach the adapter
to your camera and screw the adapter into the Trinocular
port. Plug one end of the cord directly into the camera and
the USB end into your computer.
