1. FOCUS STACKING
With Focus stacking, you can stack images with different focuses on
top of each other to create one ultra-sharp image.

The actual magnification level is displayed inside the zoom option and
can also be typed if a keyboard is connected.

Manually set focus to the part of the object farthest away.
3. Focus 2: Focus setting near
Manually set focus to the nearest part of the object.
4. Steps

Available intervals: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50
5. Quality
•
Normal: This is the default fast mode with a typical
processing speed of 8 seconds for 15 images.
•
High: In this mode the processing speed is reduced and
15 images can take up to 13 seconds.
By extending the image processing time, visual artifacts are reduced
and the image quality increased.

NB: Long pressing the center key on the control box will close the
Focus stacking application or cancel an ongoing focus stacking.
All current settings used during Focus stacking, except zoom level,
are persisted during power down.
2. RULER
With Ruler, you can add vertical and/or horizontal rulers in a variety of
colors on top of your live image.
Get started with the app
Before using the application, make sure to specify which lens is
currently mounted on the microscope in the microscope camera
settings.
If the mounted lens is not available in the microscope camera
settings, please perform a ruler calibration. For more information, see
section 4 in SETUP MENU.
Ruler direction
Turn the Ruler application on in the Applications menu with the left
and right arrow buttons on the XPLUS control box. Choose between
Horizontal, Vertical or Both.
Turn off
Turn the ruler off by once again accessing Ruler option under the
Applications menu point and choose Off.
System units
Choose your preferred system units (metric or imperial) under the
General settings menu point in the setup menu.
Ruler color
Set the ruler color to your prefered color to separate it from your
displayed object. Go to the Ruler color option under the General
settings menu point in the setup menu.
Choose between 6 different colors: Yellow, blue, red, black, white and
green.
Manual focus setting
When the Ruler is chosen, the system will automatically start in
manual focus setting to focus on the part of the object furthest away.
If needed, manually adjust the focus by adjusting the height of the
microscope to get the desired object in focus. Then, use the zoom in
and zoom out buttons to fine adjust the focus.
