Field of View, Monitor vs., Eyepiece
The first question that most people as is: "How much of what I see through the eyepieces will appear on the monitor?" The field of view diagrams presented here will help to answer that question.
In each diagram, the circles represent the field of view seen through the microscope eyepieces. The rectangles represent the image that will appear on the TV monitor (or computer screen).
Each circle corresponds to a certain "field number" (FN) eyepiece. Eyepieces with wider fields have larger field numbers. The field number is usually engraved on the eyepiece right after the magnification, as in WFK 10x/20. In this example, FN = 20.
Video Cameras (1 CCD)
Select the field of view diagram according to the size of the chip in your camera and on whether the HR or the HRP series is to be used.
3 CCD Video Cameras
Select the field of view diagram according to the size of the chips in your camera. Diagrams apply to both bayonet mount and the new C-mount versions.
Cooled Chip & Kodak MEGAPLUS
You will have to know the part number of the chip in your camera. Search among the four diagrams for the corresponding coupler and resultant field of view. Example: Kodak KAF-1400 chip is found in HRP060 diagram. Diagrams apply to both Nikon F mount and C mount versions.
Leaf Lumina Camera
This is the field of view when the camera is used in the full resolution mode.
Kodak DCS Series Cameras
The field of view for the DCS200 and the DCS420 cameras is illustrated using a HRP100-NIK coupler. The field of view for the DCS and DCS100 cameras is illustrated in the Cooled Chip / Megaplus HRX200-NIK diagram.
Field of View, on the Specimen
The second question that most people ask is: "I know how big my specimen is. Will I be able to see it all on my monitor?". This leads us into a discussion of what the field of view will be in the plane of the specimen.
This is actually quite an easy thing to figure out. First, remember that whatever image lands on the chip will be displayed on the monitor. The monitor, no matter what size, will display the image. Knowing this, we just have to figure out what portion of the specimen will end up being imaged on the chip. This depends on just three things: the objective magnification, the coupler magnification, and the dimensions of the chip.
To find the field of view on the specimen that will be displayed on the monitor you would divide each of the chip dimensions (chip height and chip width) by the product of the objective magnification and the coupler magnification.
NOTE: In this discussion, we have assumed that an "underscanned" monitor was used. An underscanned monitor displays an image slightly smaller that the picture tube. This means that every pixel on the camera chip will get displayed on the monitor. "Overscanned" monitors display an image that is slightly larger than the picture tube, which means that the pixels on the edges of the images are lost.

Example
|
(The squeamish can fast forward to the tables following this section)
Let us define: |
What is the field of view on the specimen if a 20x objective, a 0.42x coupler and a 1/3" chip camera are used? |
| Fh = specimen field height |
|
| Fw = specimen field width
Ch = chip height
Cw = chip width
Mo = objective magnification
Mc = coupler magnification
Then specimen field height is given by:
Fh = Ch / (Mo x Mc)
And specimen field width is given by:
Fw = Cw / (Mo x Mc)
|
First we get the chip dimensions from the table under "Equations":
Ch = 3.6mm
Cw = 4.8mm
We know the microscope objective magnification and the coupler magnification:
Mo = 20
Mc = 0.42
We can now calculate the specimen field height and width:
Fh = Ch / (Mo x Mc)
= 3.6mm / (20 x 0.42)
= 0.43mm
Fw = Cw / (Mo x Mc)
= 4.8mm / (20 x 0.42)
= 0.57mm
The field of view on the specimen would be 0.43mm high by 0.57mm wide. |

Magnification
Let's say that you take a ruler out and measure the length of the image of a bug on your screen to be 115mm. You wonder out loud "how long is my bug,...really?" The answer is: the real length of the bug is the screen measurement (115mm) divided by the overall magnification between the bug and the screen.
The overall magnification between the bug and the screen is the product of the optical and the electronic magnifications between the bug and the screen. The optical magnification is the product of the objective magnification and the coupler magnification. The electronic magnification is the ratio of the monitor diagonal measurement to the chip diagonal measurement. (Use the same units, don't mix inches and millimeters).
Equations
M = overall magnification
Mo = objective magnification
Mc = coupler magnification
Dm = video monitor diagonal
measurement (mm)
Dc = chip diagonal measurement (mm)
The overall magnification is given by:
M = MO x Mc x (Dm / Dc)
The actual specimen dimension is:
actual specimen dimension = dimension on screen / overall magnification
Example
You are using a 2x objective, a 0.45x coupler, a 1/2" chip and a 27" monitor. The length of the image of the bug on the monitor is 115mm. What is the real length of the bug?
Mo = 2
Mc = 0.45
Dm = 27" = 686mm
The 1/2" chip is 4.8mm x 6.4mm (see table on previous page). We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal.
Dc = square root of [(4.82)2 + (6.4)2]
= 8mm
The overall magnification (bug to screen) is:
M = Mo x Mc x (Dm / Dc)
= 2 x 0.45 x (686mm / 8mm) = 77.2
The real length of the bug is:
real length of bug = length of bug on screen / overall magnification
= 115mm / 77.2
= 1.49mm
Selecting a Coupler and a Bottom Clamp
HR / HRP / HRT Video Coupler
The video coupler series is available for a variety of camera mounts including:
- C-mount for single chip and 3-chip cameras
- Bayonet style for 3-chip cameras (Sony and non-Sony)
- Nikon "F" bayonet style for cooled chip cameras and Kodak digital cameras
Each camera mount is available in a variety of magnifications which allows the user to achieve the desired field of view size for various CCD formats (1/3", 1/2", 2/3", etc.). See insert pages for field of view size illustrations. All couplers are adjustable for parfocality between the microscope and TV monitor.
Microscope Bottom Clamp
Because microscope phototubes vary greatly in size and dimensions, we use a variety of microscope bottom clamps to adapt our video couplers to virtually every microscope in the marketplace. These clamps slide over the end of the video coupler and provide for secure attachment to the microscope.
 C-Mount Style
Found on:
- Single chip CCD cameras
- Some 3-chip CCD cameras
- Some Cooled Chip CCD cameras
- Some Digital Cameras
Bayonet Style
 (Four types of bayonet style)
1/2" Sony
1/2" non-Sony
2/3" format
Found on:
- 3-chip CCD cameras
Nikon "F" bayonet style:
Found on:
- Cooled CCD cameras
- Kodak DCS & Megaplus
- Other digital cameras
- Identify the lens mount used on your camera. Turn to the matching video coupler selection chart. If using a Kodak digital camera, see the dedicated chart.
- Identify the CCD format size used in your camera. Look under the corresponding column heading. In the cooled CCD chart, the format size is indicated by the length and height of the chip. If using a Kodak digital camera, simply identify the camera model in the chart (CCD format size and model number are also given for confirmation).
- Choose the video coupler to achieve the desired field of view. Couplers are listed by catalog number and in order of increasing magnification. The lowest magnification will give the widest field of view on the TV monitor for a given CCD format size. See insert pages for complete field of view illustrations and explanation about choosing an appropriate magnification.
- Select the appropriate bottom clamp from the "Microscope Bottom Clamp Chart" on the back page. First identify the microscope manufacturer. Then identify the microscope type (compound, stereo, or inverted). Finally, identify the model and appropriate bottom clamp.
Example: The customer wants to adapt a Sony DXC-960 3-chip bayonet mount camera with a 1/2" format CCD chip onto a Nikon Optiphot. The customer wants the widest field of view possible on the TV monitor.

Recommended Video Coupler Charts
CAUTION: When to Use the HRP Version
NOTE: Both HR and HRP series couplers are listed as choices for 1/2", 2/3", and 1" format single CCD cameras. The HR series will produce a sharp, flat-field image with objectives that have up to a "standard" Numerical Aperture for their magnification (see table below). As for the Numerical Aperture (NA) of the objective goes higher than the "standard NA," the image will begin to lose sharpness outside of the center field of view area. The HRP series has been designed to give a sharp, flat-field image with all objectives including apochromats, fluorites, and research grade plan apochromats, fluorites, and research grade plan achromats. The HRX series couplers will also work fine with high NA objectives.
Use the HRP version if the...
