Axio Imager operation and function controls (motorized version)
In this section, those operation and function controls of the motorized version of the Axio Imager are
described that are different from the manual version. Controls not described here correspond to the
manual version.
As a great number of components are offered optionally, the specific design of your microscope may be
different from the illustrations below. So it is possible, for instance, to use also manually controlled
components (such as reflector turret, condensers, filter wheels) on the motorized stand. In this case,
however, the functionality of the microscope, particularly its operation via TFT display (touchscreen) will
be restricted.

Section 4.8: Touchscreen -
Settings tab
).
Further motorized components (such as the motorized stop slider, motorized filter wheels,
motorized FL attenuator and the motorized tube lens turret) are to be operated via the buttons
directly arranged on the respective components.
