Then go to that section of this brochure to learn more surrounding that type of Thales Optem Video Coupler. For each of the Coupler Series featured, there is a Thales Optem Video Coupler Model Maker Chart and corresponding Model Maker to provide you with a quick and simple means of determining the correct Video Coupler model number for your microscope, camera and magnification needs. Refer to the Model Maker Chart and follow the steps as follows: From column number one, determine the mount type required for your video camera (ie., C, F or Bayonet mount). Record the two-letter designation for that mount type in the first two spaces of the model maker form. In the example below, we have selected a Standard Coupler for a C-mount camera. 1 Sample Model Maker Form 02 Within column number two, locate your desired magnification factor (ie., 0.38X, 0.50X, 0.67X, 1.0X, 2.0X) and record the two-number designation for that magnification factor in the second two spaces of the model maker form. In the example below, our camera has a 2/3” format, so we have selected a 0.67X (2/3X) magnification factor. Refer to pages 4-5 for a detailed discussion on the relationship between magnification and field-of-view. 2 Next locate the brand of your microscope from column number three. Record the single-letter designation for your microscope brand in the third model maker slot as indicated. In the example below, our microscope is a Leica brand. 3 Immediately next to the manufacturer brand of your microscope, locate the microscope model as listed next to the bold-face model designation letters. Record the appropriate model designation letter in the final slot provided within the model maker form. In the example below, we have selected an “A” clamp for a Leica DM L Series Microscope. 4 In summary, refer to the Standard Video Coupler Model Maker on page 13. The example below indicates we have specified… • • • • • a Standard Video Coupler fitting a C-mount video camera with 0.67X (2/3X) magnification designed to fit a Leica brand microscope model, DM L Series.

If your diagonal falls between two standard format diagonals, select the larger camera-format diagonal and choose the video coupler that corresponds to that camera format. Ideally, you want to see the maximum amount of a microscope’s circular image within a rectangular format (that of a video camera). Achieving this is a simple exercise in selecting the most appropriate video coupler magnification for your camera format or chip size. When you require a more highly magnified image and a smaller field-of-view, select a Video Coupler with a higher magnification factor than your camera format, thus enhancing the image magnification and resolution to the monitor. CAMERA FIELDS-OF-VIEW In the diagrams below, the circles represent an 18mm field number as seen through a microscope eyepiece. The rectangles correspond to the portion of that image which will appear on your video monitor.

Multi-Port Couplers allow you to integrate two video cameras onto your microscope simultaneously. This eliminates the hassle of changing out one camera for another, thus increasing your imaging productivity. Multi-Port Couplers also eliminate the need for expensive microscope heads with multiple photoports (i.e., Quad Heads). There are essentially two types of Thales Optem Multi-Port Couplers to choose from… a variety of video/video couplers which incorporate two C-mount video cameras… and one video/photo coupler which accepts one C-mount video camera and one phototube. In both cases, you have several magnification factors to choose from, assuring maximum imaging flexibility. Light Distribution Flexibility Available with light distributions of 50/50, 70/30 and 100/100 to best suit the light-intensity requirements of your application. TECHNICAL NOTES: • All horizontal ports yield mirrored images • Results using Multi-Port Couplers may vary depending upon the position of the exit pupil for a given microscope. If the exit pupil does not match up with the relay lens optics, vignetting may occur. High-Resolution Imaging Innovative engineering and precision optics combine to provide high-contrast flat-field images.

(see chart below) the market today. Refer to the Standard Model Maker on page 13 to specify a Standard “Do I maximize my resolution?” Zooming When trying to maximize your field-of-view, the goal is to capture as much of the field (as seen through the eyepieces) on the monitor. This can be achieved by reducing the magnification to the camera through a video coupler. On the other hand, cameras have traditionally been unable to achieve resolution comparable to that of the human eye. In order to counter this short coming, you can use a higher magnification video coupler to increase resolution to the monitor. However, increasing your resolution decreases your field-of-view… And so continues the dilemma. With Thales Optem’s Zooming Video Couplers, you can dial down to the largest field-of-view at low power, and dial up to maximum resolution at high power… and see everything in between. 22 www.thales-optem.com Mini TV Tube Coupler for your application. 7:1 Standard Zooming Coupler requires Mini TV Tube matched to your camera format (must be ordered separately, see chart below).
