3-way camera light path.
A built-in 3-way light path enables simpli- fied photomicrography using monochro- matic, color and large 2D format cameras
―without camera replacement.
Bright frame function for easy framing against a dark background.
The frame control function allows easy framing against a dark background during such observation methods as fluorescence and darkfield.
The brightness of the red- or yellow-colored frame can also be
changed for smoother, faster
frame adjustment.
Fully automatic photomicrography via multi-control box.
The use of the multi-control box enables fully automatic photo and video docu- mentation. Excellent visibility is also offered courtesy of a plasma display, while a touch panel keeps operation as simple as possible. The multi-control box represents maximum operational comfort
–especially for frequent users of photo- micrography or video documentation.
U-AFPHOTO offers auto focus capability for a wide range of microscope techniques.
The U-AFPHOTO is equipped with a high-performance auto focus mechanism that accommodates a wide range of objective magnifications
(1.25×-100×), as well as brightfield, darkfield, fluorescence* and Nomarski DIC* observation methods. The focusing speed during ordinary brightfield observation has been raised significantly to achieve focus in only 0.3 - 2 seconds. In addition to the one-shot mode, a real-time mode is included to maintain specimen focus and significantly enhance observation efficiency even during objective and microscopic technique changeovers or specimen movement.
*The Auto focus function can be activated by inserting an optional memory card in fluorescence and Nomarski DIC observations.
The U-MCB can be easily operated via the touch panel while setting the photomicrography conditions and various motorized units. The setup choices can be selected via the jog dial.
