3.2 Optical Parts in the Microscope Main Body
3.2.1 Switching the Output Port
The optical image output port can be switched by
setting the optical path changeover dial on the right
side of the microscope to the required index mark
(two protrusions) position.

Specifications of the AUX port
The AUX port may be set as follows according to the specification at the time of purchase. There is no
output if not specified.

Ti2-U output port
The following output ports are usable in this microscope.
Output port Description
Eyepiece observation port
An optical output port for visually observing a microscope image through a
binocular part of a tube.
Side port (right/left)
An optical output port for a microscope image on both sides of the microscope.
A microscopy camera, a confocal head, and a photometer sensor can be attached.
Use a selected adapter for attachment.
Tube base unit side port
(tube base unit with port)
An optical output port for a microscope image on a side of the tube base.
A selected adapter can be used to attach the microscope camera. Turn the optical
path changeover dial to “
” and switch the tube base optical path changeover
knob to “
.”
Back port
(optional: TI-BPU)
When an FL turret is mounted on the microscope, attaching the TI-BPU back port
unit enables an optical image output. Set up FL turrets in a two-tier configuration
by using the stage up kit enables simultaneous multi-wavelength microscopy using
two cameras.
