(1) Choosing display mode
Display mode here refers to one that is used to determine how an image is displayed on the
screen. Choose your desired display mode from “1.3Mp,” “1.3Mi,” “5Mi” or “C.Scan.” Normally
choose “1.3Mp.”
Feeling or features of camera operation vary with a combination of display mode and the source
you use during photographing. Refer to “Outline Guide to Source (Photographing Mode)
Settings” in “1.4.2 Image File Settings
－
File Settings” Chapter VI.
Sample settings that suit different uses are described below. Try these settings before
determining your own settings.
•
Fine-adjusting the focus for a subject consisting of minute patterns
→
1.3Mp or 5Mi
Ex.:
Semiconductor pattern, low-magnification photography of cells and tissue,
fluorescent photography, landscape photography with a lens
•
Moving the subject while observing
→
1.3Mp
Ex.:
Semiconductor pattern, stereoscopic microscope observation, cell diagnosis,
general photography with a lens
•
Focusing on a dark subject
→
1.3Mi
Ex.:
Position or focus adjustment during fluorescent photography, nighttime
photography with a lens
•
Photographing a dark subject in the shortest time possible
→
1.3Mi
Ex.:
Fluorescent photography, nighttime photography with a lens
•
Photographing a bright subject with priority placed on focusing
→
C.Scan
Features of display modes
The following describes features of each display mode.
5Mi: Observation with high-definition images
An image consisting of 5.07 million pixels is compressed for display at a rate of 3.75
frames per second.
•
Misregistration of colors may occur for moving subjects.
•
Effective for observing a subject that specifically requires delicate focusing as when
photographing fine patterns or lines.
•
Effective for long exposure periods because shutter delays are nonexistent.
1.3Mp: Photographing or observing a moving subject
An image consisting of 1.3 million pixels is displayed at a rate of 7.5 frames per second.
•
Misregistration of colors does not occur even if the subject moved while being
photographed.
•
Effective for cases where as when photographing a high-contrast subject whose dark
and bright parts are clearly distinguishable, you are concerned about misregistration
of colors caused by a movement of the microscope stage.
•
A moving subject can be photographed while being made to pause with a
high-speed shutter.
•
You can set a combination of display modes, e.g., “1.3Mp” for observation and “5Mi”
for photography. Use File Settings of the SETUP menu to make such a setting. Refer
to “1.4.2 Image File Settings
－
File Settings” in Chapter VI.
