Important information
About the contents of this manual
This manual describes the installation of the DP2-BSW image analysis program, the
setting up of the DP70 camera for use with the DP2-BSW image analysis program,
and the way to operate the DP70 camera with the DP2-BSW image analysis
program.
Warning
Warning This manual does not describe the installation of the camera itself. For this you
should use the DP70 Digital Microscope Camera Instruction Manual that was
supplied with your camera.
See also You will find a detailed description of the camera controls, based on a sample
camera, in your image analysis program's manual. You will find a description of
the camera specific functions in this manual, starting on page 14.
Warning Do not disassemble the camera housing! CCD image sensors are easily damaged
by static discharge.
Warning To avoid damage to the cable and the risk of fire, make sure that the camera cables
do not come into contact with the light source or other sources of heat.
Warning In case of a fire toxic gases can be given off!
Warning Arrange the cables in such a way that nobody can stumble or trip over them.
Warning Do not touch cover slip (over the CCD chip) with your hand or have any object come
in contact with glass surface. Should dust stick to the cover slip, blow it off gently with
an air blower. (For dust stuck due to static electricity, ionized air is recommended.)
Warning Do not subject the camera to too much mechanical shock.
Warning If the cable is damaged or severed, you risk an electric shock if you come in direct
contact with it. Shut off the hardware and change the cable immediately!
Warning To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments
that may make the total height of the microscope above 1 m when they are attached.

Operating Environ-
ment
•Do not expose to strong light (sunlight) for long periods.
•High temperatures (> 40°C) and humidity (> 80%) can influence the camera's
capabilities. Avoid storage or usage under such conditions.
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.
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 cause a malfunction or
reduced performance.
Warning 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.
