InFocus Model KC
Video Microscope
The model KC contains Infinity Photo-Optical's InFocus System. It is capable of
focus from infinity down to 56cm (22in.). By screwing-on IF Series objectives, the KC can
function down to 62mm (2.44 in.) Adapters are available for use with infinity-corrected
objectives (RMS-standard or Mitutoyo). This means that the KC's ultimate focus range,
magnification and resolution are limited only be the availability of microscope objectives
suitable for use. With an
optional Achrovid™ Video Microscope
Objective the
working distance is can be as close as 12.5mm
(0.49 in.) Because the KC is color-corrected itself, Infinity recommends objectives
which are also self-corrected (so-called "color-free" of
"color-contained" objectives).
The KC is composed of a Main Body which contains its
InFocus focusing system, activated by rotation of the focusing ring. A clamp is provided
to allow positioning and mounting capabilities. The front has threads for attaching
various objectives and adapters; the rear of the main body has C-mount threads for video
camera attachment.Variable Iris
Diaphragm
The Variable Iris Diaphragm replaces the C12 spacer tube supplied as standard equipment.
The Iris can be interfaced and set-locked.
Filter Holder
The regular filter hold is used either at the front of the KC, between IF-Series
objectives and the KC Main Body - or interfaced between KC Main Body and Microscope
Objective Adapter. 25mm diameter filters can be placed inside and secured by the retaining
ring.
DL Double Tube
The DL Double Tube provides a 2x factor. The DL Tube interfaces the KC and the
video camera and maintains all focus rangers, etc. - but at a 2x increase in
magnification.
Tele-Tube/C
The Tele-Tube/C compacts the KC and approximately halves the magnification. This
unit replaces the standard C96 tube or AVS-2 optical Drawtube. Tele-Tube/C maintains
parfocality and does not alter the usable ranges of the KC. Tele-Tube/C is recommended
when sensor sizes go below the 1/2 inch format, whenever a wider field of view is desired,
