(6) Adjusting the exposure time

Adjust the illumination for the microscope to a level that yields a suitable exposure time (normally

1/15 to 1/250 s) using an ND filter. Otherwise, adjust the exposure condition of the camera.

What is an 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.

(7) Effects of ambient light

When capturing a dark specimen with a fluorescent microscope, darken the interior lighting for

photomicrography as ambient light may enter the optical path. Attach the caps over the binocular

eyepiece to prevent light from entering through the eyepiece.

(8) Effects of vibration

Because photomicrography involves extremely high image resolution, a slight vibration can affect

image quality. To insulate the microscope from vibration, set it on a solid, stable surface on a solid

floor. Using an anti-vibration table compatible with the microscope will further reduce the effects of

vibration. During microphotography, avoid touching the microscope or the desk or stand on which

the microscope is positioned.
