JPEG image file size
The size of an image file in JPEG format greatly depends on the object. Use the file size values in this table as a
guideline.
DICOM 2014a format
To output images in DICOM 2014a format, you must modify the parameter file that is used by the DS-L4
application. For details, contact your nearest Nikon representative. After you modify the parameter file settings,
you will be able to output images as microscopic or photographic images.
To input medical information to DICOM images, use a DICOM-compliant system. The DS-L4 cannot be used for
this purpose.
