•Industrial specimen scene modes

(Wafer IC-chip): Wafer or IC chip

(Metal Ceramic):

Bright parts of a metal specimen are expressed as white, and dark parts are expressed as transparent. This mode can also be used for ceramic and plastic specimens.

(Circuit Board):

This mode is suitable for photographing mounting defects on a part-mounted circuit board.

Clipping of highlights in component leads and solder joints are suppressed, allowing for defects to be easily detected. This mode is also suitable for high-contrast subjects such as gears and other metal components.

•Biological specimen scene modes

(DF/FL): Dark field photography/fluorescent photography

Use this mode to photograph a dark subject. The camera operability for position or focus adjustment is improved by increasing the camera’s sensitivity.

High-resolution images may be obtained from the photographed data.

(BF): Bright field photography

This mode is provided for general dyed specimens.

(DIC/PH):

Contrast is enhanced for differential interference and phase contrast photography purposes.
