Olympus OM-MOUNT PHOTOMICRO ADAPTER L User Manual
OM-MOUNT PHOTOMICRO ADAPTER L
For photomicrography with the OM-1 SLR Camera, this adapter is used to mount an eyepiece to
the camera. In this use, the eyepie ces requ ire special e yepi ece adap ters F K, P or G in con junctio n
with an Olympus micros cope except the Universal Re search Microscope V ANOX and the Photomicrographic Stand PM-PSS. For 20X obj ectiv es o r low er, the adapte r L di rectl y connect s to eithe r
of these three eyepiece adapters, while the VANOX and PM-PSS do not require any eyepiece
adapter for photomicrography with the OM-1 through the whole range of magnification.
• For Use with an Olympus Microscope
1. Attach the adapter L to the OM-1. The adapter L is attached on the camera in the same manner
as the taking lens is attached.
2. Determine the magnification. Picture magnification is determined by the formula below:
EYEPIECE PICTURE MAGNIFICATION
FK FK eyepiece power X objective power
P & G P or G eyepiece power X
objective power X approx.
0.5
3. Olympus microscopes require special eyepices FK, P or G, as above. mentioned to be used
with the OM-1 and adapter L for photomicrography. Their various cornbinations available are
summarized as follows:
MICROSCOPES EYEPIECES
Universal Research Microscop e
VANOX FK
Biological Microscopes
E&Fseries FK&P
Kseries FK&P
G&Hseries FK&P
Metallurgical Microscopes
MF&N FK&P
Stereo Microscopes
VB series G
SZ G
XG
X-Tr P
JM G
JM-Tr P
Fluorescence Microscope
FLM FK&P
Biological Microscope
(for tissue culture)
CK FK&P
Polarizing Microscopes
POM&POS FK&P
Microspectrophotometer
MMSP FK&P
NOTE:
1) When both FK and P e yepieces are applicable , however, it is preferable to use FK than P
eyepieces, since the FK is specially designed for photomicrography.
2) Only the objective has the resolving p ower, and the eyepie ce serves merely to enlarg e the
image resolved by the objective. When the total magnifications are same with different
combinations of eyepieces and ob jectives, the f iner re solv ing det ails of the subject can be
obtained by the larger objective power.
4. Select an eyepiece adapter according to the eyepiece in use.
o Eyepiece adapter FK for FK eyepieces
o Eyepiece adapter P for P eyepieces
o Eyepiece adapter G for G eyepieces
