Storage Requirements
Microscopes,
Lenses, and
Tripods
Store the CoolSNAP camera system in its original containers. To protect the system from excessive heat, cold, and moisture, store at an ambient temperature between 0°C and 70°C with a relative humidity of 0%-80% noncondensing.
The camera has a standard threaded video mount and can be mounted to any microscope that accepts a standard C-mount adapter. The camera also allows you to install any lens that is compatible with a standard threaded video mount as long as its optics do not extend farther than .47 inches (11.9 mm) behind the flange of the lens. The CoolSNAP camera can be mounted to a tripod using the tripod-mounting hole located on the bottom of the camera. See Additional Measurements on page 17 for more information.
Note: In microscopy applications, a 0.5x C-mount camera coupler is recommended for an expanded field of view.
Repairs The CoolSNAP camera system contains no user-serviceable parts. Repairs must be done by Photometrics. Should your camera system need repair, contact Photometrics Customer Service. Please save the original packing materials so you can safely ship the camera system to another location or return it for repairs if necessary.
Note: Do not open the camera. Opening the CoolSNAP camera voids the warranty.
Cleaning Clean exterior surfaces of the camera with a dry, lint-free cloth. To remove stains, contact Photometrics Customer Service.
To clean the camera’s imaging window, use only a filtered compressed-air source. Do not touch the window.
