Live video observation with digital camera and TV monitor
 
Without using a computer it is possible to watch the the objects in the microscope realtime on a TV monitor. This method enables focusing the object correctly as well as watching and discussing in a group.
Open carefully the side coverage of the digital camera. Turn it aside and insert carefully the plug of the video cable into the socket next to the USB port.

Sony monitors are ideal for your purpose. They have a hinged video port on the lateral side. In case of frequent changing of the video source, these plugs are quite handy due to their easy access. Except of a VGA input the plug-in possibilities cover every requirement.
Connect the plug on the other side of your video cable (marked yellow in the picture) with the port in the same colour. Switch your TV source to video to watch the microscope objects by using the remote control or by pressing the button on the video port (next to the socket port).
If you use another type of TV monitors which do not have an extra port, you can use the scart input of your TV. The only thing you need for this is an Input-Video-Scart-Adapter (note: there are two types of scart adapters: input video and output video adapters. Moreover, there are also combinating adapters which have a switch to change between the two possibilities).
To watch your microscope objects, switch the TV channel to video (some TV sets change the channel automatically).

 
 

Methodic Properties:

All methods mentioned above use only a small part of the maximum capacity of the video chips. In the digital camera, the primary digital image information is being transformed into an analogue video signal (PAL or NTSC). Compared to the digital camera´s photo mode, this results in a heavy loss of information, but moving sequences can be watched realtime in return. The image quality is sufficient for examination or control purposes.
