Stage Rotation; E] Auto-Photo Switch (For Photomicrography) ーーOooeeeeeeeeeww - Nikon ECLIPSE E600 Instructions Manual

3. Operation of Each Part
2. Stage rotation
Loosen the stage rotation clamp screw to rotate the stage. Rotating the stage is useful for cropping
images during photomicrography.
CAUTION The stage rack protrudes when the stage is
moved. When operating the focus knobs or
condenser focus knob, be careful not to graze
your hand on the end of the rack.
9 i Auto-photo switch (for photomicrography)
The color temperature of the lamp varies according to the voltage. If the voltage is high, the color
temperature of the lamp increases and the light becomes bluer. If the voltage is low, the color
temperature of the lamp decreases and the light becomes redder. Therefore, to obtain the best color
reproduction in color photomicrography, it is necessary for the lamp voltage to be kept constant.
When using daylight-type color film, the standard setup is to use the color balancing filter (NCB1 1)
and set the lamp voltage to 9 V.
The auto-photo switch is used to automatically set the stan-
dard lamp voltage (9 V). If the images on color film shot
with the auto-photo switch on are reddish or bluish, finely
adjust the voltage with the auto-photo voltage selection
switch. The center position of the 5-level slide switch is
roughly 9 V. Sliding the switch forward increases the blu-
ish tint of the light, while sliding the switch towards the
back increases the reddish tint of the light.
Use commercially available color compensation filters (CC
filters) if this adjustment does not resolve the problem.
