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.
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 and Operation Symbols
The following symbols are found on the camera. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the
equipment in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Explanation
Indicates a non-specific general hazard. Follow the description given after this symbol
or in instruction manual.
, Indicates “ /” (ON) or “ \” (OFF) of the main switch.
Use the specified AC adapter (6 V, 2.5 A DC)
Symbol of camera cable (1394) connector.
6. To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments that may make the total
height of the microscope above 1 meter when they are attached.
7. The AC adapter and camera generate heat after they have been used for a long period of time.
To avoid moderate temperature burn, do not leave these parts in extended contact with your skin.
8. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding terminals of the power supply and wall outlet
are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded properly, Olympus can not warrant the electrical
safety performance of the equipment.
9. Sharp edges inside the computer may cut your fingers, so take extra care.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In
addition, the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury or damage to the equipment or other property. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
? : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).
The recorded image data may be lost (destroyed) in the following cases. Note that Olympus will
not assume any liabilities for the loss (destruction) of recorded data.
The image data may also be destroyed by an unexpected cause. It is recommended to back up
the data periodically.
•When the user or a third party services or repairs the equipment.
•When the PC is shut down, the AC adapter is disconnected or the power cord is unplugged
during recording or erasure (formatting) of the PC.
•When the equipment fails.
Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.

1Intended Use
This device is intended to be used for the capture of digital images for non-clinical diagnostic purposes.
1. Olympus will not assume any liabilities for any damage due to the use or non-usability of this system,
including compensation for the lost data.
2. When the HDD free space reduces, the data processing speed may slow extremely or errors may occur
frequently. To prevent this, delete unnecessary data files frequently.
3Conformity of the System
•The 1394 driver specialized for DP26 must be installed to operate DP26. When this driver is installed,
other 1394 devices except Olympus Digital Camera for Microscope cannot be operated though
connected. (Note that DP 25 cannot be used.)
•The 1394 driver can be installed at the same time when installing DP2-TWAIN or cellSens.
•To connect other 1394 devices, the driver specialized for DP26 must be uninstalled. (When the driver
specialized for DP26 is uninstalled, DP26 cannot be operated.)
•When connecting the DP26 to the PC, connect the DP26’s camera head directly to the 1394 connector
of the PC. Connection through a commercially available 1394 hub or conversion connector may lead to
malfunction.

Before installation
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-TV0.5XC-
DP 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.
7
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.
