Acquisition
This section describes the basic operating procedures (from turning ON the power to acquiring images or movies) of the
microscope digital camera.
You can understand the basic procedures to acquire still images and movies only by reading descriptions in this section.
· Adjust the optical systems of the microscope thoroughly in advance.
· Use the camera adapter to perform the parfocal adjustment of the eyepiece of the microscope and the live
image. (For parfocality adjustment procedures, refer to the instruction manual of the camera adapter.)
TIP
Hint (for adjusting the focus)
• The zoom magnification of the live image
can be changed. The focus can be adjusted
easier with high magnification. (p.41)
• Showing the focus indicator on the display
allows you to identify the best focus position
easily. (p.49)
• If the light is too bright, reduce the light using
the ND filter.
The light intensity control by adjusting
the voltage of the halogen lamp may
be affected by the change in the color
temperature of the illumination light.
• Adjust the image quality (p.33 to 38),
set the metering region (p.34), or lock the
exposure time (p.28) if necessary.
• The brightness or the tint of the live image
shown on the display may be different from
those actually acquired or recorded.

• Set the light path selection knob of the microscope
to the acquisition (camera) light path.
· Insert the LBD filter into the light path of the
microscope.
(Only when using the halogen lamp)
· Adjust the light intensity of the microscope.
· To exhibit the color reproducibility of the camera
maximally, use the CX microscope by setting the
light intensity closer to maximum.
(For details, refer to the instruction manual of the microscope.)
