3.4.2Calling the Calibration Value

To use one of the registered calibration values to perform measurement, you must call up the calibration value following the procedure described below before you can use it.

NOTE: Be aware that if you call up a calibration value for any image all of the overlay information for that image will be erased.

1)

Select the calibration value you want to use, from

s1

through

s7

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drag the mouse pointer over one of the numbers

 

s1

 

through

 

s7

, and the calibration

 

information for that number will be displayed in the Info area for your confirmation.

NOTE: If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope with motorized or intelligent nosepiece, note that each calibration value call number is linked to the hole number of the nosepiece. This means you cannot change calibration values by selecting s1 through s7 . Calibration values are automatically changed when you change the objective.

3.4.3Measuring the Distance between Two Points

You can measure the distance between two specified points on an image. The measurement line you used for this measurement can be saved to the overlay for that image.

NOTE:

*You need a mouse to use this function.

*This function can be used unless you first perform calibration or call up the saved calibration value.

*Because this is a simple function for measurement, its accuracy is not high.

1)
