IR-DIC (Infrared Ray Differential Interference Contrast) Microscopy Procedure

This section describes the IR-DIC microscopy procedure which is performed using the microscopes controls and buttons.
The microscope can also be controlled from DS-L3 if a DS-L3 DS Camera Control Unit is connected to the microscope.
Examples of DS-L3's [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] screen with the used control buttons are shown for procedures that can
be performed from DS-L3. The content and layout of buttons on the screens in the figure and the actual [MICROSCOPE
CONTROL] screen may differ because the setting of buttons on the [MICROSCOPE CONTROL] screen can be changed
as desired.
For details on the procedure for controlling the microscope from DS-L3, see Chapter 3, "20 Operation on DS-L3" - "20.2
Microscope Control" in this manual.
DS-L3 screens in Ni-E (focusing nosepiece system)
The motorized nosepiece, motorized condenser, etc. are not used in the Ni-E focusing nosepiece system although the
DS-L3 screens in this manual show the system in which the motorized devices are fully equipped.
The buttons for the unavailable motorized devices and the devices which are not connected to the microscope will be
grayed out and cannot be operated in the actual DS-L3 screen.
Preparation
1

Turn on the power.

Press the power switch to [|] to turn on the power.
(1) Turn on the power switches for all accessory devices
connected. (Except DS-L3)
(The power LED on each device will light up.)
(2) Turn on the power for control box A.
(The power LED on the control box A, front of the
microscope, and contact arm will light up.)
(3) Turn on the DS-L3 power switch.
Power on sequence
Turn on the power in the order described above. There
is no specific sequence for accessory devices.
However, when DS-L3 is connected, turn on control
box A before the DS-L3 power switch. This will load
data such as microscope's system configuration and
settings into DS-L3.
