1.6 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.

1.6.1 Focus Techniques
(1) Fixed focus distance

○n

○m

28

Use knob ○o or ○p 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 the

application program to focus the image.

(2) Fixed image sensor position

The status bar will show on the screen (please refer to Section

1.3-(16)). Use the remote controller to adjust the image
sensor position based on magnification size, FOV, or working
distance. When the image sensor position is fixed, focus the
image by using knob ○o to adjust the height and knob ○p to

fine tune.

29

1.6.2 Magnification chart

26 focus section setting is based on the whole focus area per
4x object lens. 10x object lens only have 15 focus sections.
The sensor position tells the magnification size(Mag.), field of
view(FOV), or working distance(WD). The below chart is
measured on 4:3 ratio on 21.5” screen, it’s only a reference
data, might not be accurate enough. Based on the image ratio
(preview window size), field of view and magnification size will
change.
