For detailed information for the camera, photomicroscopic software, and PC, refer to the operating manuals
provided with the respective products. The following instructions assume that the digital camera DS-5M and
the camera control unit DS-L1 are used.
1
Adjust the microscope for proper image observation.
Refer to Page 12, “1 Diascopic Bright-field Microscopy” through Page 18, “4 Episcopic Microscopy.”
2
Adjust the camera head attaching position until the image is displayed properly on the
monitor.
Loosen the attachment guide fixing screw on the C mount and adjust the camera position so that moving
the stage left-right moves the image on the monitor in the opposite direction. After making the
appropriate adjustments, tighten the screws firmly.

Set the camera white balance.
To adjust the white balance, press the WB button while capturing an image of a clear section of a
specimen slide.
For fluorescent photomicrography, adjust the white balance under normal lighting conditions before the
image capturing.)
6
Capture and save images.
• Move the stage to get the target on the specimen.
• Readjust the focus.
• Adjust the image brightness using the camera exposure compensation function.
