Type Of F-Mount Adapter And Field Of View; Calculating The Display Magnification For Microscopic Observation - Nikon DS-Ri2 Instructions Manual

 Adjusting the exposure time
An exposure time in the range of 60 ms to 4 ms is appropriate for a normal image capturing. Adjust the light intensity
for the microscope using an ND filter to get an appropriate exposure time.
While automatic exposure is selected, the camera gain and the exposure time are automatically changed to obtain an
appropriate exposure. For this reason, a weak light intensity causes a high camera gain making the image coarse,
and a long exposure time making the focusing difficult.
ND filter
An ND filter is a filter that affects only the amount of light passed, not the color balance of the light. For
example, an "ND2" filter cuts transmitted light in half, while an "ND16" filter reduces transmitted light to 1/16th
of actual levels.
