Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy Procedure
This section describes the differential interference contrast microscopy procedure which is performed using the
microscope's controls and buttons.
The microscope can also be controlled from DS-L3 if a DS-L3 DS camera control unit is connected to the microscope.
Examples of DS-L3's [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] screen with the used control buttons are shown for procedures that can
be performed from DS-L3. The content and layout of buttons on the screens in the figure and the actual [MICROSCOPE
CONTROL] screen may differ because the setting of buttons on the [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] screen can be changed
as desired.
For details on the control from DS-L3, see Chapter 3 “23 Operation on DS-L3” - “23.2 Controlling the Microscope” in this
manual.
Preparation
1
Turn on the power.
Press the power switch to [|] to turn on the power.
(1) Turn on the power switches for all accessory devices
connected. (Excluding DS-L3)
(The power LED on each device will light up.)
(2) Turn on the power for control box A.
(The power LED on the control box A, front of the
microscope, and contact arm will light up.)
(3) Turn on the DS-L3 power switch.
Power on sequence
Turn on the power in the order described above. There is
no specific sequence for accessory devices. However,
when DS-L3 is connected, turn on control box A before
the DS-L3 power switch. This will load data such as
microscope's system configuration and settings into
DS-L3.
