Projection: SM244 & SM245 Microscope to Screen
1. Power on the Microscope
2. Power on the VCR/DVD device and set it to VCR mode.
3. Power on the Projector using the Epson remote
4. Power on the white Sony CMA-D2 1” x 6” box on the bottom shelf
5. Turn the dial on the small video selector control box to DVD/VCR settings
6. Focus the specimen in the microscope eyepiece as you would for normal
observations. Note, this requires that the View Selector Rod (blue on
diagram) is in the full “in” position to deflect light toward the eyepieces.
• Pull the View Selector Rod (blue box on diagram) on the right side of
the microscope frame supporting the eyepiece to the “out” position.
This deflects light from the eyepiece to the camera
• If you still see any light in the eyepieces, pull the View rod to the full out
position.
• When finished with the camera/projector, push the View rod to the “in”
position to resume using the eyepiece for adjustments or another
specimen
Note: If the projected view dims or adjust automatically to an unsatisfactory image,
adjustments can be made on the camera Auto Exposure modes (see slide #7). A
setting to manual mode is often effective.
