3Measuring Two-point Distance or Entering Information—TOOL Menu3.1Outline of the TOOL Menu

Display a menu and select the [TOOL] tag on it, and the TOOL menu will be displayed.

In the TOOL menu, the following functions are available to utilize the photographed image.

In overlay, you can measure the distance between two points, enter a comment, or compare images laid on top of another.

You can place overlaid information on top of a photographed image before saving or printing the image.

Note, however, that the TOOL menu is subject to the following limitations:

A mouse is needed for almost all operations performed from the TOOL menu. Although text can be entered from a keyboard, you need a mouse to use this function.

No images can be saved in 2560*1920 size that have overlays or scales, etc., placed on top of them. If you selected 2560*1920 for the image size, it will be automatically reduced to 1280*960.

The TOOL menu cannot be used in C.Scan mode.

The TOOL menu is disabled during electronic zoom. The contents you drew or entered from the TOOL menu are hidden when you turn on the electronic zoom. (The hidden contents can be redisplayed after you turn off the electronic zoom.)

If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope with motorized or intelligent nosepiece, the content drawn with the TOOL menu displayed on the screen (pen, count marker, text, two points distance measurement or superimposition) is deleted when you change the objective.

If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope with digital imaging head, the content drawn with the TOOL menu displayed on the screen (pen, count marker, text, two points distance measurement or superimposition) is deleted when you change the magnification of the optical zoom.
