Optical Microscope Camera
The petrographic microscope in M&M 714 is fitted with an OptixCam Summit 1.3 MP camera that is attached to a PC for capturing images. There are a few ways to capture images; TSView, MiCam and via a plugin in ImageJ (which doesn't work well and will not be covered here). TSView and MiCam each have there strengths: TSView allows saving of four different parameter sets that are easy to select, MiCam has robust measurement capabilities, is customizable for the objective used and writes handy comment files containing pertinent data upon saving an image.
TSView
- Set the microscope up to produce a good image in the oculars.
- set the light path selector on the microscope arm to ocular & camera or just camera.
