Abstract
A FOV (field-of-view) of the HV-MSC (high voltage multi-scan CCD, $1024{\times}1024$ pixels) camera mounted in the post-column HV-GIF (high voltage gatan image filter) has been drastically enlarged by the projection lens current adjustment. An imaging area of the HV-MSC camera obtained at the lowest magnification (2,000x) is $112{\mu}m^2$ which corresponds to the recording area of the film at the magnification of 8,800x, while the achievable recording area is only $0.43{\mu}m^2$ at the same magnification without this technique. Ignoring the image distortion of less than 5%, we have designed an on-site reference graph to estimate projection lens currents for microscope magnifications above 8,800x, where the recording area on the HVMSC is same as that on the film.
