The most important facet of the Olympus PM-30 system is the pre-programmed mode featuring two methods for automatically recording fluorescence images, which has classically presented formidable problems for the photomicrographer. The PM-30 camera system can be readily attached to any manufacturer's trinocular observation tube having a vertical phototube with an outside diameter of 25 millimeter (Figure 1). A description of the features included with the PM-30 is outlined in the following paragraphs.

The 35-millimeter film cassette is fitted into the camera back and the protruding strip of film is extended and laid across the film track. When the control unit is activated and the camera back is closed, the film automatically advances to a pre-specified point and is ready for the first exposure. The current exposure number appears in a liquid crystal window on the camera back, facing the user. After each exposure, the film automatically advances to the next frame and is ready for a subsequent exposure. The PM-30 control unit (Figures 2 and 4) offers the option for multiple exposures on the same film frame. When the 24- or 36-exposure film roll is finished, the camera back automatically rewinds the film into the original cassette. After rewinding, small strip of film remains protruding, which is a plus for the do-it-yourself processor or for microscopists who utilize Polaroid instant 35-millimeter film, which must be processed with a special desktop processor. The camera also has an option allowing the user to automatically rewind the film before the roll is completed.
