10 4.2 4.2 Tips on Micrographing 4.2.1 4.2.1 Setting the Environment for Micrographing When you have attached this product to a microscope, set up the environment for micrographing referring to the following description. (1) Setting Up the Environment  Adjusting the brightness of the environment When you micrograph a dark specimen by a fluorescent microscope, the light in the room may come into the illumination optical path of the microscope; do the micrographing after making the room dark. Cover the binocular section by the caps to shut the light out.  Preventing tremor Micrographing is made with a high resolution so that a little tremor affects the image quality. Place the microscope on a backlash-free robust desk standing on a stable floor, so that a tremor does not reach the microscope. You can reduce the impact of tremors by using a vibration isolation table that suits your microscope. Be careful, especially during micrographing, not to touch the table on which the microscope is placed. (2) Setting Up the Microscope Condition  Using an appropriate filter For color images: Insert an NCB filter in the optical path. For monochrome images: Insert a filter that suits the photographing purpose in the optical path. Generally, a GIF (Green Interference) filter achieves a good contrast. Using a filter of the complementary color of the specimen makes the contrast sharp. Using a filter  The way a filter is inserted and removed depends on the microscope. Refer to the manual of your microscope.  A third-party color compensation filter (CC filter) can be inserted into the illumination optical path of the microscope to compensate for changes in color balance caused by the length of the exposure time.  When using a phase contrast microscope or an interference microscope (two luminous fluxes or multiple luminous fluxes), you can enhance contrast using a green interference filter (GIF) or a monochrome interference filter (IF).  We recommend that you use both an NCB filter and GIF (green interference) filter for DS-Qi2.  Some microscope model may require a heat-wave absorbing filter. NCB filter An NCB (neutral color balance) filter is a color-balancing compensation filter used to adjust color temperature to daylight values in microscopes that use a halogen bulb as a light source. Complementary color For example, green and magenta, red and cyan, and blue and yellow are all pairs of complementary colors. When complementary colors overlap, their respective hues cancel each other out.  Setting the field diaphragm Adjust the field diaphragm so that it circumscribes the viewfield. The field diaphragm has a significant impact on contrast, especially for fluorescent specimens against dark backgrounds. Note: For how to adjust the field diaphragm, refer to the instruction manual of your microscope.

11  Setting the aperture diaphragm Adjust the aperture diaphragm in the following way according to the illumination type. For diascopic illumination: Generally, the numeric value of the condenser aperture diaphragm should be adjusted to approximately 70% to 80% of the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective. For episcopic illumination: Generally, the aperture diaphragm should be adjusted to approximately 70% to 80% of the size of the pupil of the objective that can be seen by removing the eyepiece and looking into the eyepiece tube. Adjustment of aperture diaphragm  For details of the aperture diaphragm adjustment, refer to the instruction manual of your microscope.  For capturing images that have greater depth of focus, close down the aperture diaphragm. Note that closing down the aperture may limit the performance of the objective. Depth of focus “Depth of focus” refers to the in-focus range along the direction vertical to the specimen surface. While reducing the aperture diaphragm extends the depth of focus, it reduces resolution to some extent on the other hand. Adjust the aperture diaphragm in accordance with your needs.  Adjusting the focus on the subject Adjust the focus of the microscope so that the image can be clearly seen on the monitor. Adjusting the focus on a dark subject If the subject is dark making the exposure time long and the focusing difficult, we recommend that you use the [DF/FL] scene mode. For how you operate the [DF/FL] scene mode, refer to the instruction manual for the NIS-Elements.  Adjusting the illumination When capturing a color image, the color reproducibility of the image depends on the lamp voltage. When a halogen lamp is used as the light source, increasing the lamp voltage produces a bluish light, while decreasing the lamp voltage produces a reddish light. Except in cases where it is specifically necessary to adjust the tone, the voltage should be set to the proper level for micrography, which depends on the microscope being used. Since this level varies by type of microscope, refer to the instruction manual of your microscope. Note: If the lamp voltage changes, adjust the white balance once again. White balance during observation with the microscope Consider the following when you adjust the white balance while viewing on the microscope.  When using diascopic illumination for microphotography, adjust the white balance while you are photographing a transparent part of the preparation.  When using episcopic illumination for microphotography or using a lens, adjust the white balance using a white subject.  For fluorescent photographing, we recommend that the white balance be adjusted under normal light conditions before photographing. If the screen is excessively dark or bright, adjust the light intensity of the light source or the iris diaphragm, or use an ND filter to obtain the appropriate white balance.  Selecting an operation mode Multiple operation modes are available for image capture using the product, including All pixels, 3 x 3 pixels average, and ROI modes. Refer to the table below to select an operation mode optimum for your subject, application, etc., Operation mode Suitable application All pixels High resolution, wide FOV image capture 3 x 3 pixels average Wide FOV, high frame rate image capture ROI Narrow FOV, high frame rate image capture For more information on pixel count and frame rate for each operation mode, see “Chapter 7 Major Specifications.” For information on settings of operation modes, refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements.

12  Adjusting the exposure time An exposure time in the range of 60 ms to 4 ms is appropriate for a normal image capturing. Adjust the light intensity for the microscope using an ND filter to get an appropriate exposure time. While automatic exposure is selected, the camera gain and the exposure time are automatically changed to obtain an appropriate exposure. For this reason, a weak light intensity causes a high camera gain making the image coarse, and a long exposure time making the focusing difficult. ND filter An ND filter is a filter that affects only the amount of light passed, not the color balance of the light. For example, an “ND2” filter cuts transmitted light in half, while an “ND16” filter reduces transmitted light to 1/16th of actual levels. 4.2.2 4.2.2 Type of F-mount Adapter and Field of View Field of view (or angle of view) and image resolution depends on the type of F-mount adapter used to add the product to a microscope or other optical device as shown in the table below.

16 6.5 6.5 View of Images Symptom Possible cause Action The image blurs. The optical device is out of focus. Bring the optical device into focus by operating the focus drive or focusing ring. The aperture diaphragm is stopped down too far when using the microscope. Adjust the aperture diaphragm to 70 to 80 percent of the numerical aperture of the objective, or 70 to 80 percent of the pupil of the objective. The magnification setting for the optical device is too high. Lower the magnification setting for the optical device. Note: As a guide, use 500 to 1000 times the numerical aperture of the objective for the magnifying power. The electronic zoom is being used for observation. Turn off the electronic zooming function. Note: Use of the electronic zoom may cause an image to blur depending on the magnification. The exposure time is too long. Set a higher value for the camera gain and a lower value for the exposure time. Note: If setting the exposure time long for a subject in motion, the subject is blurred. The product is used in a place subject to frequent vibration. Use the system in a stable, vibration-free place. The image is too dark or too bright. Illumination for the subject is improper. Adjust brightness of the illumination properly. The exposure is not adequate. In AE mode, perform exposure compensation. Or, set the photometry area and photometry mode properly. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements. Monitor is not properly adjusted. Adjust the display quality of the monitor properly. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the monitor. The contrast is low. The illumination is too bright or too dark. Adjust brightness of the illumination properly. Adjust the exposure. Light around the subject affects contrast. Darken the interior, or put the cap on the binocular tube for a microscope. Field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm of the optical device (microscope) are set improperly. Adjust the field diaphragm to near the size circumscribing the field. Adjust the aperture diaphragm to 70 to 80 percent of the numerical aperture of the objective. Filter selection for the optical device (microscope) is improper. For a phase contrast microscope or interference microscope (dual beam or multiple), insert the specified filter. Note: For negative-positive images, generally, inserting a green interference filter (GIF) improves contrast. Note: Insert a complementary color filter of the color of the specimen for stronger contrast. The contrast of the subject itself is low. Consider illumination and/or microscopy method to compensate for the low contrast. The image adjustment is improper. Set the saturation, hue, contrast, black level, etc. to an appropriate level. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements. Monitor is not properly adjusted. Adjust the display quality of the monitor properly. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the monitor.

17 Symptom Possible cause Action Color reproducibility is not good. The color temperature of the illumination is improper. Adjust the illumination of the optical device so that the subject is seen in the right color. The illumination is too bright or too dark. Adjust brightness of the illumination properly. Adjust the exposure. The white balance is not set properly. Obtain the white balance under the same conditions as for the observation and micrography. The setting of the camera gain is too high. Adjust the camera gain properly. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements. The image adjustment is improper. Set the saturation, hue, contrast, black level, etc. to an appropriate level. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements. Monitor is not properly adjusted. Adjust the display quality of the monitor properly. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the monitor. The image quality is rough. The camera gain is set too high. Set the illumination brightness, the camera gain, and the exposure time to an appropriate level. Note: Image capturing with high camera gain may result in a noisy image (with texture, unevenness, unwanted lines). Lower the camera gain setting if such a problem occurs. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements for adjustment of the camera gain and exposure time. The image is distorted. The subject was moving during image acquisition. Stop the movement of the subject. Note: When you move the XY stage right and left, etc., for image acquisition, the resulted image may look distorted. This is not a hardware failure: a distortion-free image can be acquired once the subject movement is stopped. Image flickers or horizontal line noises appear on the image. A fluorescent or sodium vapor lamp is used for illumination. Change the illumination types or set a longer exposure time. Note: Fluorescent or sodium vapor lamp flickers at a high-speed. This causes flickering or horizontal line noises on an image, which can be minimized by setting a longer exposure time. Note: Refer to the instruction manual of the NIS-Elements for adjustment of the exposure time. 6.6 6.6 Other Symptom Possible cause Action The power indicator on the operation panel is flashing in red.
