Mounting the Camera
General
The MicroMAX camera can be mounted either horizontally or vertically (nose up or nose
down). The camera can rest on any secure surface. For mounting flexibility, the round
head camera is equipped with four standard ¼″ x 20 UNC threaded 3/8″ deep holes
spaced at 90° intervals around the body; in some situations it may prove convenient to
secure the camera with a suitable mounting bracket. An optional tripod mount is available
for the rectangular head camera.
In the case of cameras equipped with F-mount, do not mount the camera in the nose-up
operation where the lens mount would be required to hold the camera’s weight. The
F-mount is not designed to sustain the weight of the camera in this orientation and the
camera could pull free. Contact the factory for special mounting options that enable
operation in this orientation.
WARNING
Should the camera be mounted in the nose-up position beneath a table, take care to
protect the mounting components from lateral stresses, such as might occur should
someone accidentally bump the camera with a knee while working at the table. Two
possible approaches to this problem would be to install a securely mounted bracket to the
camera or to install a barrier between the camera and operator so as to prevent any
accidental contact.
There are no special constraints on nose-down operation. Again, however, good
operating practice m
ight make it advisable to use a securing bracket to prevent accidental
contact from unduly stressing the mounting components.
If the camera is going to be mounted to a microscope, the lens mounting instructions that
follow will not apply
. Where this is the case, users are advised to skip the following
discussion and instead review "Mounting to a Microscope", beginning on page
35.
Mounting the Lens
The MicroMAX camera is supplied with the lens mount specified when the system was
ordered, normally either a screw-type C-mount lens or a bayonet type F-mount lens,
allowing a lens of the corresponding type to be mounted quickly and easily.
C-mount lenses simply screw clockwise into the threaded lens mount at the front of the
cam
era. In mounting a C-mount lens, tighten it securely by hand (no tools).
