This camera can be adopted to fulfill the function of a direct measurement microscope in our optics experiment kits where direct measurement microscope or its eyepiece is used for length measurement. Furthermore, the acquired video can be projected onto a large screen for group watch. 

Installation

• Install a proper camera lens onto the CS mount of the camera

• Connect the VGA OUT terminal to a VGA display using a VGA cable

• Plug the 5V DC AC adaptor into the 5V DC IN socket of the camera
