Capturing Images
The microscope system can capture images of the sample being observed when a camera such as a DS camera head is
attached to the vertical tube via a TV tube adapter or C-mount adapter.
13.1
Procedure for Capturing Images
Follow the procedure below to capture images. For the camera settings, refer to the instruction manual for the DS-L3/DS-L4
or DS-U3.
Using the DS-L3/DS-L4
Specify the following items beforehand.
Folder to save
Name of the save file (or select Auto.)
File format and file size of the save file
Date and destination of the data
(1) Adjust the illumination of the microscope correctly and
focus the sample image.
(2) Adjust the mounting orientation of the DS camera head.
For details on attaching a camera head, see [12] Attach a
camera in Chapter 5, “3.2 Assembly of Other Devices
(Optional).”
Since shifting a sample horizontally causes the image on
the monitor to move horizontally, loosen the attachment
guide fixing screw and adjust the orientation of the camera.
After making the appropriate adjustments, tighten the screw.
Adjusting the camera orientation
(3) Select the camera scene mode suitable for the microscopy type.
(4) Adjust the camera’s white balance.
When using diascopic illumination, first capture an image of the top surface of the stage plate. When using episcopic
illumination, first capture an image of any white subject. Then, press the WB button to execute white balance
adjustment. (For fluorescent photomicrography, Nikon recommends adjusting the white balance under normal
bright-field microscopy conditions before capturing images.)
(5) Adjust the position of the sample.
(6) Readjust the focus on the target.
(7) Adjust the image brightness using the camera exposure compensation function.
(8) Press the Pause button on the DS-L3/DS-L4 to check the image.
(9) Save the image if acceptable.
To save the image, press the capture button on the DS-L3/DS-L4.
