IMPORTANT

The DP26 microscope digital camera is designed to be connected to a camera adapter mounted on an
Olympus UIS2/UIS series microscope for recording of microscopic magnified images.
When the DP26 is used with a camera adapter from other manufacturers than Olympus, the optical
performance may not be fully manifested.

Safety Precautions

1. Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cable or power cord, make sure that the main switch
of the camera or PC is set to OFF. When connecting a cable or power cord, push in the connector all the
way before pressing the main switch to ON.

2. To avoid electric shock or equipment failure, never connect or disconnect a cable while the main switch
is set to ON.

3. If the main switch of the camera is turned OFF using DP26, PC the application may malfunction. Be
sure not to turn OFF the switch during using DP26.

4. Always use the AC adapter provided by Olympus.
Using a similar but non-Olympus AC adapter does not only allow the camera to manifest its full
performance but may also cause an equipment failure as well as a burn or fire hazard due to abnormal
heating. Never use such an AC adapter.

5. The cords and cables are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply excessive force to them.
Also distribute the cords and cables away from a heat-generating part such as the lamp housing of the
microscope.

All of other brand names and product names mentioned in this manual are trademarks or registered trademarks
of their respective owners.

Before installation

Windows® 7, Windows Vista

Installation is impossible unless your user account is registered as a “Computer Administrator account.”
If you are registered in the “Standard user account,” please change it to the “Computer Administrator
account.” (For the user account registration, refer to the manuals for your PC.)

Windows® XP

Installation is impossible unless your user account is registered as a “Computer Administrator account.”
If you are registered in the “Restricted account,” please change it to the “Computer Administrator account.”

Restrictions in Use

1. The standard TV adapters are the U-TV1XC and U-TV0.63XC.
The U-TV0.25xC, U-TV0.35xC (or a TV adapter with magnification below 0.5X), U-TV0.5XC and GX-TV0.5XC­DP cannot be used because of optical performance problems.

2. When two or more intermediate attachments are used, the peripheral part of the image may become
dark or obscured depending on the observation tube and objective in use.

3. When a fluorescent lamp illumination or an illumination stand of the SZX/SZX2 series is used, the image
may flicker.

®

6

4. Combinations of this product and non-Olympus microscopes have not been evaluated extensively.
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.

5. When the specimen has a low contrast (near transparent) or high reflectance (mirror status) and the
aperture iris diaphragm is stopped near the smallest aperture, spot flare may be noticeable.

6. There are some cases that red flare appears in the image of specimen which has very big differences
in luminance, and the strong luminance portion is located in the image. This results from the peripheral
surface reflection of the CCD. This flare can be minimized by adjusting the exposure for strong
luminance portion to appropriate level, or by opening the AS.

7. When the edge of a non-transmitting object is observed by transmitted illumination under the STM6
in combination with the MM6-OB3X/5X/10X objective and the MM6C-VL/MM6-ETR, flare may be
noticeable due to the difference in brightness between the transmitted sections (over-exposure) and
non-transmitting section (underexposure).

To reduce the flare, set a lower exposure using the exposure adjustment function or setting the exposure

manually.

8. The image of dark specimens under reflected light or in the darkfield (specimens that need exposure of
1/2 sec. or more at ISO 100 equivalent) cannot be recorded.

9. Specimens with a distribution that is not suitable for center averaged metering require spot metering or
exposure adjustment.

10. When electronic zoom is used for magnification display during focusing, the image may become
noticeably coarse with certain samples.

7

11. If the exposure time is set less than 1/15 seconds, the LIVE image cannot be displayed by the frame rate
more than 15fps.

12. The traceability of auto white balance control deteriorates when the specimen contains little white area.

13. If the microscope light source is set too bright, color unevenness may occur in photographed images.
Should this be the case, adjust the brightness to an appropriate level (for example, by lowering the lamp
voltage or by inserting a neutral filter).

14. To prevent destruction of the recorded image (data), never perform the following action during recording
of a still image or movie;

• turning power OFF;

• disconnecting the AC adapter;

• disconnecting the camera cable;

15. When combining to CX or CKX, set the light volume of the microscope illumination closer to the
maximum level in order to gain the best color reproduction.

4 Getting Ready

1. The camera head uses precision components. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden
or severe impact. Also note that the microscope does not have a waterproof construction.

2. The image displayed on the monitor may be affected when it is used near equipment generating strong
electromagnetic waves. To avoid interference during operation, keep the system far from any source of
electromagnetic waves.

3. 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 “SPECIFICATIONS” on page

19.)

DP26

5 Maintenance 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. To prevent fire
ignition, 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. When the system is not used, store it with the dust cover. Before storage, ensure that the main switches
of the camera head and the microscope are set to OFF and that the camera head, AC adaptor and
lamp housing is cool enough.

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

5. As this camera is easy to roll over, when you store it after removing it from the microscope, keep the C
Mount area down.

6. When smoking the room for cleaning, etc., move the DP26 to a place not exposed to smoke.

7. Care is required against condensation as this may sometimes cause malfunction. Condensation is the
phenomenon in which the vapor in the air is condensed into water drops, which attach to the surface of
a metallic plate, etc. It often occurs when the ambient temperature changes suddenly, for example when
a camera is brought from cold outdoors into warm indoors.
