The PC interface board area shown below becomes very hot during and immediately after use of the
camera. Be careful never to touch the area during and after use.
IMPORTANT
The DP30BW microscope digital camera is designed to be connected to a TV adapter mounted on an
Olympus UIS type optical microscope for use in quick recording of fluorescent images featuring easy
framing and focusing thanks to the high-sensitivity monochrome CCD and cooling using a Peltier device.
The DP30BW incorporates the background elimination function to record very low-fluorescence images
in high picture quality.
When the DP30BW microscope digital camera is used with a TV adapter or microscope from other
manufacturer than Olympus, the optical performance may not be manifested fully.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
