Microscope and Tablet Mount Kit Chapter 1: Description
Rev A, November 2, 2018 Page 1
Chapter 1 Description
1.1. Introduction
The LDCCM kit enables users of Thorlabs' LDC401 or LDC401A Large-Diameter
Fiber Cleavers to view a magnified image of the fiber, micrometer backstop, and
cleave blade on their tablet controller screen. It includes a USB microscope
camera mounted on a swing-arm assembly which makes it easy to position the
camera over the fiber or move it out of the way. It also includes a mast with a USB
hub, which makes it possible to mount the tablet controller above the cleaver and
use the tablet controller as a display for the camera (as well as a controller for the
cleaver).
1.2. Parts Checklist

Chapter 2 Setup
2.1. Hardware
1. Remove the two screws towards the
back of the right side of the cleaver
using a 3/32" hex key. Save the screws
in case you want to use the cleaver
without the swing arm some time in the
future.
2. Attach the swing arm to the cleaver as
shown, using the two 4-40 x 5/8" long
screws. Use the 3/32" hex key to
tighten the screws.
3. Attach the mast to the back of the
cleaver as shown, using the four 4-40 x
1/4" long screws. Again, use the 3/32"
hex key to tighten the screws.
4. Plug the type A end of the short USB
cable into the bottom USB port in the
mast.
5. Plug the type B end of the short USB
cable into the data port of the cleaver as
shown.

6. Remove the two screws at the top of
the mast using the 3/32" hex key.
7. Place the tablet on the mast's cradle.
To allow the tablet to fit in the cradle, it
may be necessary to loosen the two
screws holding the cradle in place.
8. Place the top clamp over the top of the
tablet as shown.
9. Replace the two screws removed from
the top of the mast and capture the top
clamp. Tighten the two screws until the
tablet is secure.
10. Pick up the second (longer) USB cable,
and plug the micro B end into the power
port of the tablet.
11. Plug the other end of the cable into the
USB port at the top left corner of the
cleaver.

12. Capture the cable in the black clamp at
the back of the mast.
13. Locate the pigtail coming from the USB
hub in the mast and plug it into the
tablet USB port.
14. Remove the digital microscope from its
box and pull the plastic guard off of the
front.
15. Slide the camera into its holder on the
swing arm.
16. Secure the camera cable by pressing it
into the T-slot in the swing arm.

17. Plug the end of the camera cable into
the middle USB port in the mast.
18. Bundle up the middle part of the camera
cable.
19. Secure the camera cable using the
hook and loop fastener on the back of
the mast.
The back of the cleaver should now look like this:

2.2. Positioning the Camera
1. Load an insert into the left fiber holding
block and slide it so that its right end
sits right infront of the cleave blade.
Swing the camera over the end of the
insert.
2. Confirm that the tablet has turned on,
and the GUI has initialized. Press
“Tools” in the tool bar at the bottom of
the tablet screen.
3. Select “Camera.” Rotate the camera
so that objects towards the back
appear on the top of the screen, and
objects towards the front appear at the
bottom of the screen.
4. Zoom in using the silver wheel on the
camera. Focus the camera by
adjusting its position within its holder.
5. If necessary, loosen the two screws in
the middle of the swing arm and adjust
the centering of the camera. Then
readjust the camera position to make
the insert appear horizontal and in
focus. Put the insert in its working
position and make sure there is a right
insert as well.

6. Load a fiber into the fiber holding
blocks. Swing the camera over the
fiber. Incrementally lower the camera
and adjust the magnification to get a
good image of the fiber.
7. Advance the micrometer stop so it
comes close to the fiber. Loosen the
two screws in the top of the arm and
adjust the position of the end piece
until the micrometer stop is centered
on the screen. The fiber must be
visible. Rotate the camera within the
holder until the fiber is perfectly
horizontal on the screen. Tighten the
two screws.
8. Advance the micrometer stop to
ensure that there is even contact
across the micrometer stop. That is to
say, the micrometer stop should not be
at an angle with respect to the fiber,
and should touch it on the left at the
same time as the right. If it does not,
use shims to adjust the micrometer
stop.
1. When the camera is not needed, the
swing arm can be rotated
counterclockwise into the storage
position. Use the black post to move it
to avoid altering the camera position
with respect to the bracket.
