3.14 Using a Back Port Unit (Optional)
An additional camera device can be mounted by
attaching a TI-BPU back port unit to the back port on
the rear of the illumination pillar.
Because a filter cube (dichroic mirror) in the FL turret
is used to split the optical path to the back port, the
FL turret can be used to select a wavelength.
Example of attaching a back port unit
Important
A dichroic mirror in the filter cube is used to split optical paths to the back port. A poor flatness of the
dichroic mirror causes lens effects by curved reflection, resulting in poor imaging status. Use a dichroic
mirror with high flatness for splitting optical paths.
Using a back port unit
Focusing:
Loosening the clamp screws allows turning the focus adjustment knob.
Turn the focus adjustment knob while watching a camera captured image to align it with an observation
image in the eyepieces.
Centering:
Tightening and loosening two centering screws allows centering a captured image.
When two cameras are used for a simultaneous capture, make sure that the images captured by these
two cameras are centered.

Simultaneous Multi-wavelength Microscopy (by Using Stage Up Kit)
If the FL turret is set up in a two-tier (upper and lower) configuration by using the stage up kit, a simultaneous
multi-wavelength microscopy is allowed using two cameras by mounting the TI-BPU Back Port Unit to add a
camera port.
