Before Microscopy
Information for motorized operation of the microscope has been set upon shipment. If you start using the microscope with the
motorized settings of factory default, turn ON the switch of the Control Box A after the assembly of the microscope to use.
However, information on optical elements such as an objective and a filter cube to be attached arbitrarily has “not” been
set as factory default. It is useful to have the device information configured before the use of the microscope.
You can change the factory default motorized setting information according to your needs.
Configure these settings on the [SETUP MENU] screen of a DS-L3 DS Camera Control Unit.
The table shown below summarizes the contents of the SETUP MENU. Make necessary settings accordingly.
See Chapter 3 “23 Operation on DS-L3” – “23.1 Setting Up the Microscope” in this document for the summary of the
setting operation.
See "DS-L3 Microscope Operation" Instruction Manual provided with DS-L3 for details on using DS-L3.
