Using Lens Mount Adaptors

The Zyla has a T-mount thread as standard. There are 3 standard lens mount adaptors available that can be specified at the time of ordering, enabling the Zyla to suit standard mounting options. These are as follows:

  • C-mount

  • CS-mount

  • F-mount

The Zyla is supplied with the selected lens mount adaptor locked into a nominal position of 1 mm from the top surface of the Zyla faceplate. Adaptors can be removed, inserted and adjusted (for focus optimization) as required
