IMPORTANT

The DP71 microscope digital camera is designed to be connected to a camera adapter mounted on an

Olympus UIS2/UIS series of optical microscope for use in recording of microscopic magnified images at

high speed (about 3 seconds) and highest resolution while maintaining high picture quality and high

color reproduction. The DP71 incorporates a variety of functions for supporting image recording under

optimum conditions.

When the DP71 microscope digital camera is used with a camera adapter or a microscope from other

manufacturer than Olympus, the optical performance may not be manifested fully.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Never connect or disconnect the interface cable while the main switch of the computer is set to “ ” (ON).

Otherwise, malfunction may result.

1. Before connecting or disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that the main switch of the computer is set to “ ”

(OFF).

When connecting the interface cable, tighten firmly the lock screws on it and ensure that the connector will not slip out

before setting the main switch to “ ” (ON).

2. The cords and cables are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply excessive force to them.

3. To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments that may make the total height of

the microscope above 1 meter when they are attached.

4. When installing the PCI interface board, be sure to hold it by the edge. Never touch the board surface directly, as this will

lead to malfunction.

The PCI interface board area shown in the illustration on

the right becomes very hot during and immediately after

use of the camera. Be careful never to touch them during

and after use.

5. Connect the provided power cord correctly and ensure that the

grounding terminal of the power supply and wall outlet are

properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded/earthed,

Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance

of the equipment.

6. Lay out the interface cable so that it does not contact the heat

generating section such as the lamp housing of the microscope.

1. Olympus will not assume any liabilities for any damage incurred due to the use or non-usability of this system, including

compensation for the lost data.

2. The computer used with this system should set up and run Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Vista.

For the OS in the computer, the user is requested to create a backup and retain it carefully. (Olympus does not support the

matters related to the OS including its backup.)

For details on the computer and Microscope Windows 2000, XP or Vista refer to their respective manuals.

3. Olympus guarantees the quality of this product in the factory shipment condition.

Olympus will not assume any liabilities for the operation errors and functional faults incurred due to the alteration of the

environmental setup (including BIOS change), installation of other software or addition of hardware to the computer by the

user.

4. When the HD free space reduces, the data processing speed may slow extremely or errors may occur frequently. To

prevent this, delete unnecessary data files frequently. For how to delete data files, refer to the manuals for Microsoft

Windows 2000, XP or Vista.

5. Never attempt to delete or rename the folders and files recorded in the provided installer software. Otherwise, the software

may get unable to be started up.

6. Do not open the enclosure of the computer and touch the power supply or the circuit board's heat generating section

right after use as it may burn your hand. Wait until the internal temperature drops sufficiently.

7. Sharp edges inside the computer may cut your fingers, so take extra care.

1Conformity of the System

Restrictions

1. The recommended camera adapter is the U-TV0.5XC-3, U-TV0.63XC, MVX-TV0.63XC or the combination U-TV1X-2 +

U-CMAD3.

The U-TV0.5XC should not be used because it deteriorates the image flatness.

A camera adapter with a magnification below 0.5X cannot be used because part of image will be cut off.

2. When the DP71 is connected to the rear port of the U-DPT or U-MPH, the peripheral part of the recorded image may be

deteriorated due to the optical performance of the U-DPT or U-MPH.

3. When the U-TV0.5XC-2 or U-TV0.5XC-3 is used, using two or more intermediate attachments*may obscure or cut off the

peripheral part of the field of view or may make flare noticeable.

*Example of two intermediate attachments: BX microscope + Vertical illuminator + Intermediate attachment with a

length equivalent to the U-CA

4. Under fluorescent ring illumination or other AC-driven illumination such as a phase control light intensity adjusting

illumination system, the following phenomena may be observed when the light intensity is increased and exposure time

is decreased:

· Flickering of the displayed image.

· Instability in exposure.

· Hatching patterns in pixel shift recording (4080 x 3072 or 2040 x 1536 pixels).

However, provided that the brightness can be adjusted using the light intensity control knob is possible or ND filters, the

above phenomena may be attenuated by adjusting the brightness so that the exposure time exceeds 1/50 sec.

For details on the microscope models using AC-driven illumination, consult Olympus.

5. Non-Olympus microscopes and commercially available C-mount lenses can be used provided that they match a CCD

with a size of no less than 2/3 inch and the lens projection length from the C-mount body attaching section is no more

than 6 mm. However, problems due to optical adaptability, such as shading, may be observed.

6. When the specimen has a low contrast (near transparent) or high reflectance (mirror status) and the aperture iris diaphragm

is stopped down near the smallest aperture, spot flare may be noticeable.

7. When the edge of a non-transmitting object is observed under the STM6 transmitted illumination, flare may be noticeable

due to the difference in brightness between the transmitted sections (over-exposure) and non-transmitting section (under-

exposure). To reduce the flare, set a lower exposure using the exposure correction function or setting the exposure

manually.

8. When a low-power objective (below 4X) is used, the peripheral part of the field of view may be obscured. In this case, use

an ultralow-magnification condenser (U-ULC-2).

9. When the U-CFU is used, it is required to set the exposure to a longer period than 1/30 sec. using the manual exposure

mode and control the brightness by engaging or disengaging ND filters.

10. During recording with image shifting (4080 x 3072 or 2040 x 1536 pixels), the image may be disturbed if the specimen is

moved.

11. If the camera or microscope is vibrated during recording of a 4080 x 3072 or 2040 x 1536 pixel image, the image will be

disturbed. Note that the factors causing vibrations include operation of the keyboard or mouse on the same desktop

where the microscope and camera are installed.

Operating Environment

Temperature: 10 to 35°C. Humidity: 20% to 85% (without condensation).

1. Computer model

<PC/AT compatible machine>The computer should meet the above specifications. The recommended computers are

the following models that accept a half-size (106.7 mm x 174.6 mm) PCI interface board.

Note that some of the following models may not accept such a board due to the internal structures.

DELLR: Prevision Series, Dimension Series, OptiPlex Series.

IBM (Lenovo) : Think Centre Series.

HP : dx Series, xw Series.

2. CPU

We do not guarantee operation if the computer uses a CPU other than Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition,

Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad or Core2 Extreme, and use a chipset other than an Intel chipset.

If the computer uses a CPU other than a Hyper-Threading CPU or a multi core CPU, the movie frame rate may drop.

3. OS

When using Windows Vista, it is required to combine the DP-BSW-V3.3 or later version.

When using Windows 2000, it is required to combine the DP-BSW-V3.2 or earlier version.

4. HD free space

The HD free space refers to the space that does not cause a special problem even when the system is installed or run.

The space required for saving an image file in the HDD is slightly more than 4 MB with a 1360 x 1024-pixel (24-bit) non-

compressed image and slightly more than 38 MB with a 4080 x 3072-pixel (24-bit) non-compressed image. In consequence,

the HDD should also provide a considerably large space for saving these image files.

When saving movies in the HDD stack, the space required for saving a movie is about 20 MB (max.) per second. The

movie recording time is limited according to the HD free space.

5. RAM

If a RAM other than a PC2700 or greater, dual-channel DDR/DDR2 RAM is used, the movie frame rate may drop.

6. Monitor

It is recommended to use a monitor capable of 1280 x 1024 or more full-color display.

7. Sequential connection of PCI units

Up to two PCI units including the DP71 and a PCI interface board of the DP70/DP30BW or FV1000 can be connected in

series. However, their simultaneous operation is not available so it is required to select either PCI interface operation.

2Getting Ready

1. The camera head uses precision components. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe impact.

2. The image displayed on the monitor may be affected when it is used near equipment generating strong electromagnetic

waves. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the actual image being recorded. To avoid interference during

operation, keep the system far from any source of electromagnetic waves.

3. When mounting the camera head on a tripod, attach it by using the DP-TRAD tripod adapter, which is separately available.

4. Do not use the camera in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or

vibrations. (For the operating environment conditions, see chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 22.)

5. The camera head needs to be calibrated periodically (every 3 months as reference) for the level variations caused by the

influence of cosmic rays. For the calibration method, refer to the Camera Calibration Wizard in the Online Help in the DP-

BSW software.

3Maintenance and Storage

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirt away using a commercially available blower and wipe

gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).

If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it with gauze slightly moistened with commercially available

absolute alcohol.

Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.

Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electric sparks -- for example, electrical equipment

that is being switched on or off.

Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.

2. Parts other than the glass components should be cleaned by wiping with a clean cloth. Do not use organic solvents to

remove major stains. Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a neutral detergent solution.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the camera as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
