•  To suppress unevenness in bright parts while photographing an image with clearly 
distinguishable dark and bright areas → TONE6 
Recommended example: Metal tissue or ceramics and other materials, photographing 
documents with a lens, etc. 
•  To enhance contrast for easy recognition → TONE7 
Recommended example: Metal tissue or ceramics and other materials, photographing 
documents with a lens, etc. 
Features of tones 
There are seven kinds of tones. Choose an easy-to-observe tone according to the subject. 
TONE1: Wide dynamic range 
Use this tone when gradation from darks to brights is required (as for subjects that have 
highlight reflections). 
Recommended example: IC chips, part-mounted circuit board, gears, etc. 
TONE2: Weak contrast 
Use this tone when you want to weaken the contrast. 
Recommended example: Cells and tissue, general subjects 
TONE3: Standard contrast 
Use this tone for ordinary photographing. 
Recommended example: Cells and tissue, general subjects 
TONE4: Strong contrast 
Use this tone when you want to enhance the contrast. The image will have clearly 
distinguishable darks and brights. 
Recommended example: Cells and tissue, general subjects 
TONE5: Linear 
There is a linear output proportional to the input from the camera. Use this tone when you 
want to examine the difference in luminous energy from photographed data. 
Recommended example: DIC observation, PH observation, etc. 
TONE6: Provided for metal tissue 
Use this tone when you want to suppress unevenness in bright parts while photographing 
a high-contrast image. 
Recommended example: Metal tissue or ceramics and other materials 
TONE7: Enhanced contrast 
Use this tone when you want to enhance the contrast during observation. 
Recommended example: Metal tissue or ceramics and other materials, photographing 
documents with a lens, etc. 
 
 
(5) Adjusting the white balance 
Before photographing an image you need to adjust the white balance of the camera using a 
subject that has even whites. 
 
1) 
When using diascopic illumination for microphotography, photograph a transparent part of 
the preparation. When using episcopic illumination for microphotograph or when using a 
lens, adjust the white balance with a white subject. 
For fluorescent photography, we recommend that the white balance be adjusted under 
normal light conditions before photographing an image.
