Store the reached position by using the
Store
button.

Now you can position the detection volume into
the sample in a well-defined way:
If you use one of the C-Apochromat water

volume 150 - 200 µm deep into the sample to
get rid of disturbing interface effects. The
easiest way of doing this is by clicking the
+200 µm button.
