*1: Automatically adjusts taking into account the difference in the field of view depending on the optical path when a
motorized quadrocular tilting tube is attached. Also, when motorized zooming port is attached and the optical path
is set to [REAR], the field diaphragm is adjusted automatically taking into account the zoom magnification. (For a
manual zooming port, it is adjusted assuming that the 1.0x zoom is used.)
Adjusted with the field number of 25 when a manual tube is attached.
*2: The size of the aperture diaphragm is another factor that affects the brightness of the field of view. When the
motorized ND filter wheel is set to [NORMAL] or [INTELLIGENT], ND filter is adjusted assuming the aperture
diaphragm is 75% of the numerical aperture of the objective. Therefore, if the interlock setting of the aperture
diaphragm is not set to 75%, the transmittance of the adjusted ND filter may not be optimum. In such a case, adjust
with the [ND WHEEL] button on the [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] or [MIC EASY] screen. Also, when the motorized
zooming port is attached and the optical path is set to [REAR], the transmittance is adjusted automatically taking into
account the zoom magnification. (For a manual zooming port, it is adjusted assuming that the 1.0x zoom is used.)
*3: Once you turn off the DS-L4, the values in the previous state are cleared and the default value is restored. See
"5.1.2 Changing the Initial Value of the [INTELLIGENT]" in this chapter to maintain the state of [INTELLIGENT]
even when the power is turned OFF.

Settings
Setting Value
[ON] Retract the elevating section to the position set by the
software limit before switching objectives, then move it
to the original position after switching the objectives.
This operation is required to prevent the objective with
high magnification from contacting with the specimen
when the objective is near the specimen.
(For information on setting the software limit, see "6.4
Setting the Software Limits" in this chapter.)
[OFF] (default) Does not retract
[75%] Set the aperture to 75% of the objective's numerical
aperture
[INTELLIGENT] Reproduces any aperture diaphragm adjustment
performed during the observation when the objective is
returned to the original objective after switching to
another objective.
[OPEN]
Sets maximum value.
[CLOSE] Sets minimum value.
[OFF] (default) Does not interlock.
[100%] Matches with the field of view
[INTELLIGENT] Reproduces any field diaphragm adjustment performed
during the observation when the objective is returned to
the original objective after switching to another
objective.
[OPEN] Sets maximum value.
[CLOSE] Sets minimum value.
[OFF] (default)
Does not interlock.
[NORMAL] Sets the transmittance to the standard value calculated
from the magnification and numerical aperture of the
objective.
[INTELLIGENT] Reproduces any ND filter adjustment performed during
the observation when the objective is returned to the
original objective after switching to another objective.
[OFF] (default) Does not interlock.
