Capturing Images

A microscope image can be captured with a DS camera head
attached to a tube or zooming port.
Use DS-L3 or DS-U3 DS Camera Control Unit.
DS-L3 is connected with the USB connector or DSC1 connector
at the back of the microscope or the DSC2 connector on the
connector box to control the camera.
DS-U3 is connected with the DSC1 or DSC2 connector to
control the camera.
Up to two cameras can be connected.
You must have set the position and the manufacturer name of
the camera at the end of the DSC when capturing an image with
the DSC. Configuration is performed on DS-L3. (See "23
Operation on DS-L3" - "23.1 Setting Up the Microscope - (2)
Configuring the Device Connection Information" for details.)
This setting is not required when capturing an image with a
camera cable-connected to DS-L3 controlled with the USB.
CAPTURE button commands the image capture.
The CAPTURE button function is set to capture an image using
a camera connected to the USB as default.
Operation on DS-L3 (See "23.2 Controlling the Microscope".)
Interlocking setting caused by [CAPTURE]
"Interlock/Do not interlock" setting is available for the
optical path switching of the motorized quadrocular tilting
tube or motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret rotation
when pressing the [CAPTURE] button to capture an
image with a camera connected to DSC1 or DSC2.
See "19.2 Interlocking Function" for conditions for
interlocking and interlocked operations.
Notes on the [CAPTURE] function using a
trigger signal
When the CAPTURE button is set to connect to DSC, an
unintended capture may occur when the microscope is
turned ON/OFF. To avoid this, set to connect to the USB.
In addition, only DS-L3 is supported for a capture with the
USB.
