DP75 Nomenclatures NOTE: Use products that are designated by our company or comply with the requirements of IEC60950 CISPR22.24 (international standard for equipment safety) when connecting them to this product. If other products are connected, complete performance cannot be guaranteed.
Page 18: Assembly
Assembly 6.1 Attaching the IR cut filter insertion/removal knob The assembly in this chapter is not necessary if you are not observing fluorescence in the NIR (near infrared) wavelength range. When using it, use a microscope that supports NIR observation. 1.
Page 19: Mounting The Camera Head
DP75 6.2 Mounting the camera head NOTE: Do not touch the C mount thread (c) because it has sharp edges. When attaching or removing the camera head or the C mount camera adapter, be careful not to drop them. Screw the C mount camera adapter into the camera head firmly. If it is attached loosely, the camera head may drop during operation or the sufficient performance may not be obtained when acquiring the image.
Page 20 TIP: Operate the screw (LOCK) (E) and screw (CENTERING) (D) when adjusting parfocality. Set the C-mount camera adapter to an appropriate direction so that the screw (CENTERING) is easy to operate. Be sure to adjust parfocality between the C-mount camera adapter and the eyepiece. Otherwise, either the image through the eyepiece or that of the camera may not stay in focus.
Page 21: Connecting The Interface Cables
DP75 6.3 Connecting the interface cables CAUTION: Be sure to turn off the power of the PC before connecting the interface cable. Be sure to use the interface cable that comes with this product. Only then can the functionality of the product and compliance with EMC basic standards be guaranteed.
Page 22: Connecting Ac Adapter
1. Insert the BNC cable connector of the external device into the DP75 BNC cable jack (A). NOTE: The software cellSens/PRECiV is necessary to use the external trigger function. 6.5 Connecting AC adapter 1. Plug the power cord (A) into the power cord connector (B) on the AC adapter.

Alternatively, select [Settings]->[Device]->[Device List] on the menu bar to display the list. Please refer to PRECiV help section for more information about settings. 7.
Page 25: Summary Of Steps To Acquire The Images
For details on the usage instruction, refer to the instruction manual or help section of the software used. In addition, DP75 can set an optimal imaging condition according to an observation method that is automatically identified by AI function. The identifiable observation methods are BF, FL, DIC, PH and PO. For details, see the help section of the software used.

Page 27: Ir Cut Filter Insertion/Removal Function
IR cut filter insertion/removal function In the DP75, by pulling the IR cut filter insertion/removal knob, the IR cut filter can be removed from the optical path and observation images at long wavelengths (up to approximately 1,000 nm) can be acquired. Do not stop pulling out the insertion/removal knob in the middle, and pull it until it cannot be pulled out anymore.
Page 28: External Triggering Function
External triggering function DP75 can acquire still images and control a commercially available shutter with external triggering signals. Trigger input By inputting a trigger signal from an external device, a still image can be captured with cellSens/PRECiV. When an edge signal is detected, images are captured with a pre-set exposure time. CellSens/PRECiV can be used to switch the signal between positive and negative logics.
Page 29: Maintenance
DP75 Maintenance 11.1 Cleaning each part Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses and filters. If they get soiled, blow away dust with a commercially available blower and gently wipe the lenses or filters with a piece of cleaning paper (or washed-out clean gauze).
