* DS-5M/DS-5Mc C-mount 0.7X TV Adaptor (optional) is necessary
DS-2Mv/DS-2MBW/DS-2MBWc C-mount 0.55X TV Adaptor (optional) is necessary
PictBridge
It is possible to print directly without a computer using a
PictBridge compatible printer and USB connection.
A 10/100Base-TX compatible Ethernet port is provided. By using an FTP client and
HTTP/FTP/Telnet server functionality, it is possible to transmit images to a network or
remotely control the camera from a network.
In combination with the ECLIPSE 90i motorized microscope, it is possible to control the 90i from
the DS-L1 menu and to automatically detect and record the microscope status data with the
image, including the objective magnification and fluorescence filter in use. Automatic detection
of status is also possible when combined with the ECLIPSE 80i microscope configured with a dig-
ital imaging head.
