An imaging system for a microscope comprises: an imaging unit imaging an optical image from a microscope; a display unit displaying the imaged image; a specifying unit specifying at least a given position on the displayed image to set a measurement target; a measurement and drawing unit performing measurement of the measurement target and drawing of the measurement target, as well as making a measurement value obtained by the measurement displayed at a predetermined position on the screen; a magnification change determination unit determining whether there has been a change in an observation magnification of the microscope; a control unit performing, when it is determined that there has been a change in the observation magnification of the microscope after the measurement value is displayed, an output in accordance with the change.

Digital camera system for microscope and microscope system, where output depends on change in observation magnification after measurement value is displayed

A microscope-use digital camera equipped with a sleep function includes an image pickup unit for picking up an image and a control unit for controlling so as to shift to a sleep state, or not shift thereto, based on an image picked up by the image pickup unit.

Microscope-use digital camera

A microscope digital camera includes a camera head unit and an operation display unit. A display portion of the operation display unit displays an observed image acquired by a microscope body. A CPU in an operated portion of the operation display unit detects a change of the observed image. By turning on an objective warning LED provided for the operated portion, notification information indicating a detection result of a change of the observed image by the CPU is output.

Camera for microscope

A camera for recording a specimen image obtained by a microscope includes a record control unit for making a storage medium record an image data file expressing the specimen image, and a switch unit for controlling a supply of power to the camera. The camera also includes an attribute setting unit for setting a read only attribute for a data file that is already recorded by the storage medium at a time when the switch unit starts the supply of power.

Camera for recording observation image of microscope

According to the present invention, there is provided a microscope system comprising an illuminating portion which illuminates a subject, an image forming lens which projects the subject illuminated by the illuminating portion onto an image pickup element, a light adjustment portion which adjusts a light amount of the illuminating portion, a zoom mechanism which changes a magnification of a subject image projected onto the image pickup element by the image forming lens, and a control portion which changes an excitement pulse width into the illuminating portion in synchronization with a driving pulse of the image pickup element in response to adjustment by the light adjustment portion to control the light amount of illumination light and which varies the excitement pulse width in accordance with the change of the magnification by the zoom mechanism.

Microscope system

A photometric apparatus for a microscope comprises a light-reception element having a plurality of concentrically arranged photometric measurement areas, the light-reception element receiving observation light from the microscope and measuring a brightness of an observation image of the observation light, a calculation circuit for calculating an exposure time necessary for photographing the observation image, on the basis of a photometric measurement value obtained from at least one of the photometric measurement areas of the light-reception element, and a control circuit for performing an exposure operation on the basis of the exposure time calculated by the calculation circuit.
