Open the ‘Configuration’ tab and click the ‘Laser’ icon to open the appropriate window (see
Fig. 11). Switch on the lasers you require, but leave the ones you do not need turned off. If
you are using the Argon laser set the output power to 30-50%. 30% usually gives enough
power and stability of the laser output for most applications. The lower setting of 30% will
help to elongate the lifetime of the laser.

appropriate icon (see Fig. 12, number 1). The only setting you have to change is the
sensitivity for the Smart Offset. Click the second knob representing the Smart Offset on the

detailed information about the objective lenses, open the appropriate windows, but do not
change anything.
