II. Microscopy
6. Adjust the brightness.
1) Move the "aperture diaphragm lever" on the condenser to
adjust the image contrast, depth of focus, and resolution.
2) Check the camera exposure time.
Longer than < 1/8 s > -> Acceptable
< 1/8 s > or shorter -> Move the "ND filter" on the dia-
illuminator in and out of the optical path to set the exposure
time to longer than < 1/8 s >. (-> To minimize the effect of
vibration caused by shutter operation)
Supplementary information
If precise color fidelity is not required, such as when
monochromic film is used, the brightness may be
reduced by using the "brightness adjustment dial" on
the left side of the microscope.
7. Prevent the entry of extraneous light.
1) Set the "eyepiece tube turret" to position < C >.
2) Install the finder cap to the camera finder or cover the
finder with a cloth.
Supplementary information
If an eyepiece tube turret is not included, place a cloth
on the eyepieces to prevent the entry of extraneous
light.
8. Press the shutter.
Using a remote release or self-timer of the camera eliminates
the effect of vibration caused by shutter operation.
