Binocular photo tube (100/100)
The photo port (
710H710HFig. 4-32/1) of the binocular tube
may serve for mounting a reflex camera, a
microscope camera or a video camera with the aid
of appropriate adapters. Using the shift knob, the
light can be directed to the eyepieces or to the
mounted camera.

711H711HFig. 4-32/2) in forward position
(eye symbol):
100 % light to the eyepieces.
− Shift knob (
712H712HFig. 4-32/2) in backward position
(camera symbol):
100 % light to the camera.

− Whenever you want to take photos with a
long exposure time, we advise that you block
out any eventual residual light in the
eyepieces by using the tube shutter or the
eyepiece cover (included in the dust
protection kit). If neither is available, remove
the eyepiece and place the included dust
protection caps over the eyepiece barrels!
− Variable eyepiece distance by moving the
eyepiece barrels apart or together.
− Variable viewing height by moving the
eyepiece barrels up (
715H715HFig. 4-33/A) or down
(
