2.1 Safety notes
The camera has been manufactured and tested by ZEISS according to the regulations specified in
CE and has left the manufacturer’s premises in perfect working order. In order to ensure that this
condition is maintained and to avoid any risks when operating the system, the user must comply
with any notes and warnings contained in this manual. The manufacturer shall be exempt from
statutory liability for accidents should the operator fail to observe the safety regulations.
CAUTION
Personal Injury
To avoid personal injury, read and adhere to the safety notes below.
4 To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, do not use the camera near inflammable liquids or
gases.
4 Setup, expansions, re-adjustments, alterations, and repairs must be carried out only by
persons who have been authorized by ZEISS.
4 Do not allow any cables, particularly power cords, to trail across the floor, where they can
be snagged by people walking past.
4 Protect the cables from excessive heat (e.g. halogen lamps, microscope fluorescence illu-
mination).
NOTICE
To avoid equipment damage, data loss, or corrupted data, read and adhere to the safety notes
below.
4 Protect the camera against mechanical impact. External damage may affect the operation
of inner components.
4 Keep chemicals and fluids away from the camera.
4 Make sure there is sufficient ventilation of the camera head. Avoid direct exposure to sun-
light and locations near heat sources (radiators, stoves). Overheating can cause noisy images.
4 Use the camera in a clean and dry location.
4 Attach all connectors firmly and securely.
4 Use only the accessories supplied by ZEISS, when applicable.
4 Use only normal microscope cleaning material to clean the camera housing.
4 Contact your local ZEISS service organization if a repair is necessary.
4 Save all your data, such as images, measurement data, archives, reports, forms and docu-
ments, at regular intervals on an external storage medium. Otherwise it cannot be avoided
that access to this data may be lost as a result of operational errors or hardware defects.
ZEISS accepts no liability for consequential damage resulting from insufficient data protection.

NOTICE
Static Electricity
Static electricity can damage electronic components. To protect electronic components against
static electricity, do not touch them until you have grounded yourself to the casing of the device. Never touch the contacts of the electronic components. We also recommend that you
work only on an antistatic mat.
Prerequisite
User Guide ZEISS Axiocam 512 color/mono | en-US | Rev.1 15
ü
You have read the documentation of the interface card and of your computer before inserting
the interface card.
1. Switch off your PC and all connected peripherals.
2. Disconnect the PC and the peripherals from the mains and open the computer case.
3. Examine your PC’s power supply to see if it has Molex type connectors or SATA type connectors. Choose the appropriate power connector cable for the following steps. If your PC’s
power supply has both connector types, choose only one cable.
Page 16
5 Connecting the Camera | 5.3 Mounting the camera on the microsope ZEISS
4. Connect the appropriate power connector cable to one of the open connectors from your
computer’s power supply.
5. Connect the other end of the power cable to the PCIe interface card.
6. Insert the PCIe interface card into the appropriate slot on your computer.
7. Close the computer case and reconnect the peripherals.
You can now mount the camera on the microscope and connect it to the PC via the USB 3.0 interface, see chapter Connecting the camera to the PC [}16].
5.3 Mounting the camera on the microsope
To mount the camera onto your microscope’s TV port, use a C-mount adapter. The adapter is not
included in the shipment. You will find some suitbale examples for adapters in the list below:
Port Name Order Number

NOTICE
Loss of warranty
The Axiocam 512 color is delivered with an integrated IR filter (infrared cut filter). The Axiocam
512 mono is delivered with an integrated BK7 protective glas. This will protect the camera
against dust and reduces optical interferences.
4 The IR filter is situated approx. 5 mm behind the outer edge of the C-mount opening in
the camera.
4 Due to this pre-mounted IR barrier filter, C-mount adapters that screw more than 5 mm
into the thread cannot be screwed into the camera.
4 Do not remove the filter or the protective glas otherwise the warranty will be lost.
1. Remove the dust cap from the camera’s C-mount port.
2. Screw the adapter in as far as it will go.
3. Mount the camera onto the microscope’s TV port. Ensure that no dust enters the opening
of the camera or the microscope’s TV port.
5.4 Connecting the camera to the PC
1. Lay the USB cable (2 in 1) carefully between the camera and the PC.
2. Connect the USB cables to the USB 3.0 interface card of the PC.
3. Connect the USB cables with the camera.
4. If you switch on the PC, the camera will be also switched on.
Power is supplied via the USB 3.0 cable. The USB 2.0 cable supplies the peletier cooling. By
switching off the PC, the camera will be switched of as well. If the camera is installed correctly, the status LED will be red. If you start the software the LED will turn blue. You`ll find
a detailed description of the LED status light in the chapter Function indicator [

6 Installing software and drivers
Prerequisite
ü
To acquire images with the Axiocam 512 on a PC, you must install ZEISS software (e.g. ZEN or
AxioVision). You will find the software installation on the DVD delivered. The camera drivers
will be installed automatically during the installation of the software.
ü
Before starting the installation of the software and drivers, the camera must be connected to
the PC.
1. Install the software according to the installation guide delivered with the software.
2. During the installation you will be asked to install the camera drivers. Follow the procedure
by confirming the upcoming messages.
3. Restart your PC after the installation.
4. You can check in the device manager if the driver installation was successful.
You have installed the software and the camera drivers. You can now start acquiring images with
your camera using ZEISS software. For more information, please read the software documentation.

7 Troubleshooting | 7.1 Software ZEISS
7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Software
7.1.1 The camera does not appear in the menu of selectable cameras
§ Make sure that you have connected the camera and installed the software and drivers in ac-
cordance to the instructions in this manual.
§ Make sure that you installed the software and drivers with administrative rights. Install the
driver with administrative rights again if necessary.
7.1.2 You don't see a camera image on your screen
§ Check the light path setting of the microscope.
§ Is the status LED on the camera on? If not, check the cable connections between camera and
computer.
§ Execute a reset of the camera.
§ Execute an automatic exposure measurement.
§ Check the display adjustments for the live image.
§ Check the aperture diaphragm of the microscope.
§ Check the position of the beam splitter between the ocular and the TV port.
7.1.3 The color of my image does not correspond to the impression through the ocular
In case of color cameras:
§ Check white balance and, if necessary, repeat white balance.
§ Check the monitor’s color temperature setting. If necessary, reduce this to the lowest value
that can be set (usually 5200 K).
In case of monochrome cameras:
§ Images of monochrome cameras are displayed by using overlay colors to represent the colors
of fluorescence dyes on the monitor. If the color is different to the visual impression in the
eyepiece, select a different overlay color.
7.2 Hardware
7.2.1 Vibrations
Sudden jolt, vibration or moving objects during the acquisition can detract from the image quality.
The light intensity during exposure can change as well.
§ To avoid jolts, use damping systems on your microscope.
§ Repeat the acquisition and take care to ensure the conditions remain calm.

8 Maintenance | 8.1 Optical System ZEISS
8 Maintenance
8.1 Optical System
The internal optical components of the camera should always be protected. If no lens, or TV
adapter with optics, is screwed into the camera's C-Mount thread, the camera's sensor and protective glass must be protected by screwing the protective cap onto the camera's C-Mount
thread.
8.2 Cleaning the infrared filter or protective glass
Contamination of the IR filter (for color cameras only) or the protective glass has an adverse effect
on the quality of the resulting image (dark points, cloudy structures in the image). If there is dry
dust on the front side of the infrared filter or protective glass, you can clean it with a soft brush or
with cotton (wool). Use cleaning fluid for optics/lenses only to clean the IR filter. Do not use tap
water to clean the IR filter.
