OLYMPUS MIC-D

Observation using the MIC-D

4. Observation with reflected light illumination

This method lights the specimen and observes the light reflected from it. It is used to observe specimens that do not transmit light, such as an insect, flower, coin, paper and cloth.

1.
		Gently rotate the illuminator head all the way clockwise, until the stopper position.

2.
		Pull the diffuser slider on the illuminator head to the out position.

3.
		Gently rotate the rotation arm all the way counterclockwise, until the stopper position.

4.
		Gently rotate the zoom handle all the way in the direction for reducing the magnification scale indication, until the stopper position.

5.	Place the specimen to observe on the center of the stage.
6.	While observing the observation image displayed in the observation window ([Live Image] box of the software), rotate the light intensity to adjust for optimum image brightness.

7.
		If the illumination is too bright, adjust it by pushing the diffuser slider on the illuminator head into the deep.

8.
		Rotate the focus knob to bring the specimen into focus.

9.	Move the specimen or stage to adjust the positioning and orientation of the observation target region.
10.	Rotate the zoom handle to magnify or reduce the observation image.
11.	Adjust the brightness, focusing, specimen positioning and observation magnification as required.
	<Note> MIC-D uses a very bright LED as the light source. Do not look at the illumination light directly, for this may damage your eye. <Note> The illumination light for reflected light observation is radiated upward. Be careful against it during reflected light observation. <Note> When a mirror or similar element is engaged in the light path, be careful against the reflected light that may enter your eye. For transmitted light observation example, please refer to “Application"
