3.5.3Using XY Scales to Measure the Dimensions of the Subject
By displaying XY scales on the screen, you can measure the approximate dimensions of the subject. Because the X and Y scales can be moved independently, you can move the scales close to the subject before measuring its dimensions.
1)Select the calibration value you want to use from s1 through s7 .
2)Press C.Scale to display scales corresponding to the selected calibration value.
3)Point to part of the X scale and click the mouse button. Hold down the button while you move the mouse. The position of the X scale moves as you move the mouse.
4)When the X scale position is where you want it, release the mouse button to set the position of the X scale.
5)The position of the Y scale can be moved in the same way.
6)To hide the displayed scales, press C.Scale again. NOTE:
*It may not be possible to display XY scales, depending on the selected calibration value. If XY scales cannot be displayed, a message “C.Scale NG!” is displayed in the Info area. In that case, change the calibration unit that has been set, for example, from 1 mm to 1000 µm.
*Photographed images whose image size is 2,560x 1,920 cannot be saved or printed with scales written over the image. If 2,560 x 1,920 is selected for the image size, it is automatically reduced to 1,280 x 960.
*Use this function when the units "nm," "∝m," "mm," and "cm" are displayed. If other units are displayed, you need to make the calibration setting once again.
*If you perform an electronic zoom while using this function, the screen display will reflect the zoom magnification.
*If you change the optical zoom of the digital imaging head while using this function with the Nikon 80i/90i microscope connected to your system, the screen display will reflect the zoom magnification.
*If you change the objective while using this function, and if the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope using a motorized nosepiece or intelligent nosepiece, the screen display will change accordingly.
