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.
