Environmental
Requirements
The CoolSNAP camera system should be operated in a clean, dry
environment.
The camera system’s ambient operating temperature is 0°C to 30°C with 80%
relative humidity, noncondensing.
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 -20°C and 60°C with a relative humidity of 0%-90%,
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 behind the flange of the lens. The
CoolSNAP camera can be mounted to a tripod using the tripod mounting
attachment located on the bottom of the camera. See Additional Measurements
on page 17 for more information.
Note: In microscopy applications, a 1.0x C-mount camera coupler is recommended for
proper field of view.
Repairs
The CoolSNAP camera system contains no user-serviceable parts. Repairs
must be done by Roper Scientific. Should your camera system need repair,
contact Roper Scientific 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 Roper Scientific Customer Service. To clean the camera’s
imaging window, use only a filtered compressed-air source. Hand-held cans
are not recommended, as they may spray propellant onto the window. Do not
touch the window.
