The F-mount is appropriate for any trinocular output port or any side port. When
mounting the camera perpendicular to the microscope on the side port, it is ADVISED
that you provide some additional support for your camera to reduce the possibility of
vibrations or excessive stress on the F-mount nose. Princeton Instruments D

advise using an F-mount to secure the camera to a bottom port of an inverted microscope
due to possible failure of the locking m
echanism of the F-mount. Contact the factory for
information about a special adapter for operating in this configuration.
Focusing information for a camera and a camera lens mount is included in the First Li
section of Chapter 5 (page

ount adjustment in operation with a m
icroscope (the relay-lens focus

using the adjustment is provided in Chapter 5 and illustrated in Figure 18.
