5.2.2.2 Focus Indicator
Click
to activate the
Focus indicator
function. Search for the sharpest focus on the current field
of view automatically by clicking
-
Auto focus
button.
If you select the
Use fine focus
option, the coarse focus level is calculated from three different focus
points of the specimen. Carry out a manual focusing sequence in the preview image on those three
points.
Set the correct focus value of the desired preview position by clicking
SetI1
,
SetI2
, or
SetI3.
If you
want to go back to any of the previously set focus points, click the appropriate button. To delete the
stored values, click
Clear Values
.
The software calculates a coarse focus level from the three values determined this way as a basis for
the fine focusing routine. You can only define the start parameter here. This will, however, speed up
the focusing process.
If you deselect the
Use fine focus
checkbox, the software immediately starts scanning on the basis of
the interpolated values, without pre-fine-focusing.
To define focus limits, select
Limits of the range
. Set the upper and lower limits by selecting the
desired value in the selection boxes. By using
Set +-Range
, the
Lower limit
value is set to -32 of the
current focus value and the
Upper limit
value is set to +32 of the current focus value. This is useful if
Auto Focus
does not find the focus on the specimen, but on the coverslip. Also, this makes the
focusing sequence faster.
