Storage
Requirements
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.
Microscopes,
Lenses, and
Tripods
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.
