OPERATING THE SYCOP 3
11.1
Joystick
In the default setting, the joystick (Fig. 2/
1
) is used to control the two principal functions of the
microscope (zooming and focusing).
Slight, careful deflection of the joystick results in fine zooming and focusing movements, while full
deflection produces faster zooming and focusing movements.
−
Tilt the joystick
left
.
Zooming
Reduce zoom magnification.
−
Tilt the joystick
right
.
Zooming
Increase zoom magnification.
−
Tilt the joystick
forward
.
Focusing
Move the motorized focusing unit upward.
−
Tilt the joystick
backward
.
Focusing
Move the motorized focusing unit downward.
Whenever one of the two motorized mechanical or measuring stages intended to be used is connected
to the system, the stage may additionally be moved in X or Y direction by the joystick. If you wish to
switch from microscope control (zooming and focusing) to stage control and back, briefly press the
joystick.
Slight, careful deflection of the joystick will result in fine stage movements, while full deflection will
produce faster stage movements.
−
Tilt the joystick
left
.
−
Stage moves in –X direction.
−
Tilt the joystick
right
.
−
Stage moves in +X direction.
−
Tilt the joystick
forward
.
−
Stage moves in +Y direction.
−
Tilt the joystick
backward
.
−
Stage moves in –Y direction.
11.2
Scroll Wheels
In the default setting, the two scroll wheels (Fig. 2/
2
) are used for fine focusing.
−
Turn the left or right scroll wheel
forward
.
Fine focusing
Moves the motorized focusing unit upward.
−
Turn the left or right scroll wheel
backward
.
Fine focusing
Moves the motorized focusing unit
downward.
Whenever a motorized mechanical or measuring stage is connected additionally to the system, the scroll
wheels permit additional fine movement of the stage in X or Y direction. If you wish to switch from fine
focusing to stage control and back, briefly press one of the two scroll wheels.
−
Turn the left scroll wheel
forward
.
Fine movement of the stage in –X direction
−
Turn the left scroll wheel
backward
.
Fine movement of the stage in +X direction
−
Turn the right scroll wheel
forward
.
Fine movement of the stage in +Y direction
−
Turn the right scroll wheel
backward
.
Fine movement of the stage in –Y direction
