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.
