SONOPLOT MICROPLOTTER II, Manual

Page: 25 / 67

This should take a few seconds, after which a notification will appear that confirms the
calibration of the dispenser.
The camera may not be focused on the tip of the new dispenser. Adjust the three thumbscrews
on the camera mount to bring the tip of the dispenser into focus. If the contrast of the image is
poor, the image is too bright or dark, or the hue is wrong, you can adjust the settings of the
camera by opening the
Camera Controls from the windows options and adjusting the sliders
in the dialog that will appear. Close this window when finished.
Now that the dispenser and camera are set up properly, it is time to measure the topography of
the microscope slide. To do this, the dispenser will need to be moved close to the surface. Use
the directional buttons on the upper-left portion of the main SonoGuide interface to move the
robotic positioning arm in a stepwise fashion over its three axes. The buttons with single arrows
move the positioner in small steps, while the ones with two arrows move in large steps.
