DIGITAL IMAGE PHOTOGRAPHING/RECORDING PROCEDURE
· Perform all necessary optical adjustments on the microscope.
(The camera system can photograph and record microscope observation images under transmitted and reflected
light illumination as well as other observation techniques (except fluorescence microscopy).
· Use the TV adapter to perform the confocal adjustment between the microscope’s eyepieces and the display
image. (Refer to the instruction manual for your TV adapter for details.)
· The factory setting for the white balance control is AUTO, but this may sometimes be inappropriate for microscopic
specimens with small white parts. When photographing a microscopic specimen, it is recommended to use the
one-touch white balance (OTWB) facility.
Insert a CF card.
(P. 11)
Set the main switch of the control box to “ ” (ON).
(P. 13)
Select REC mode
REC MANU or REC AUTO (P. 13)
Set the light path selector knob of the microscope to the photographing (TV) light path.
Adjust the brightness of the microscope.
· Engage the LBD filter in the microscope’s light path.
· Set the intensity control to the indicator or the
specified voltage.
Check the focusing and brightness of the specimen (by viewing the display screen).
<< Focusing procedure >>
· The live image can be zoomed from 1X 2X 4X to
facilitate focusing. Focusing is easier at high zoom
magnifications. (P. 15)
· The optimum focusing position can be identified easily
by displaying the focusing indicator on the display.
(P. 23)
· If the brightness is too high, reduce it by using ND filters.
(Note) Brightness control based on the light intensity
voltage adjustment may be affected by variation in
the illumination color temperature.
· Adjust the picture quality, SPOT, AE LOCK and exposure
adjustment as required.
· The brightness and colors of the live images displayed
on the display may differ from actually recorded pictures.
Check the framing (recording area). (If a live image has been
displayed in a magnification other than 1X, return it to 1X.)
(P. 15)
Press the EXPOSE button to photograph and record a picture.
· Check the recording result. (P. 29)
(P. 16)
Enter PLAY mode.
(Note) Set the light intensity
knob to the maximum
position when using a
CX microscope.
