from
Options > XY Guide
. By default, the grid is visible. Place the calibration scale on the
stage and focus your view. Make sure that the vertical axis of the grid is parallel to scale
divisions and capture an image. Double-click the image thumbnail to open it in a separate
window.
Click the corresponding icon on the toolbar to begin calibration. Using your mouse,
choose two points on the image (you have to know the actual distance between these two
points). Once you choose the second point, a dialog window will open, where you have to
enter the known distance in the
Actual dimension
field. The application will automatically
calculate the magnification of the image. Click
OK
to close the dialog window. The
calculated magnification will be displayed in the
