1.4 Microscope Focus
There are two ways to focus. First, choose focus distance to adjust the
microscope height, then tuning focus by remote controller until clear. On the
contrary, first to choose the image sensor position then adjusts the microscope
height.
Focus distance: distance from object lens to object.
Image sensor position: The image sensor position.
1.4.1 Focus Techniques
(1) Fixed focus distance
Use knob ○j or ○k to adjust the distance from the object lens to the object.
When the distance is closer, the magnification size is higher. When the focus
distance is fixed, use the remote controller or far distance control mode on
13
the application program to focus the image.
○j
○k
○j
○k
(2) Fixed image sensor position
(2-1) In HDMI mode, the status bar will show on the screen (please refer to
Section 1.2.3-(9)). Use the remote controller to adjust the image sensor
position based on magnification size, FOV, or distance height.
(2-2) In PC CAM mode, choose the desired height or FOV from the drop
down list in the application program (see figure below).
When the image sensor position is fixed, as in (2-1) and (2-2), focus the image
by using knob ○j to adjust the height and knob ○k to fine tune.
