Photomicroscopy
For detailed explanations of the camera, photomicroscopic software, and PC, refer to the
operating manuals provided with the respective products. The following instructions assume a
DS-5M digital camera and DS-L1 camera control unit.
1
Adjust the microscope for proper image observation.
See the directions given earlier in "1. Bright-Field Microscopy."
2
Adjust the camera head mounting position until the image is
displayed properly.
(1) Adjustment based on stage motion direction
Loosen the camera centering screws on the C
mount and adjust the camera position so that
moving the stage forward-backward or
left-right moves the image on the monitor in
the same direction. After making the
appropriate adjustments, tighten the screws
firmly.
(2) Focus adjustment
If the image viewed through the eyepiece
appears to be in focus but the image on the
monitor is out of focus, turn the camera fine
focus adjustment screw on the C mount until
the image on the monitor is in focus. (Use a
low-magnification lens to make this
adjustment.)
Note that such out of focus situations can also
indicate incorrect diopter adjustment. Make
sure you have made diopter adjustments
before adjusting camera focus. (Refer to the
separate Reference manual.)
3
Make camera settings.
For a detailed discussion of this topic, refer to the operating manual provided with the camera.
