d.  Define the video field of view center. 

 

i.  If you have a binocular viewer and camera installed, crop the 

field of view on both the X and Y axis slightly (indicated by the 
white dashed lines) and then move the gray calibration crosshair 
so it is exactly on the end of the 50µm tic mark in the video 
calibration screen.  

The designated center point in the video 

calibration screen should match what is viewed through the eyepieces.

 

 

            

 

 

Crop FOV slightly and mark edge of 50µm  tic m ark 

 

i.  If you have only a camera installed, rotate the top knob on the X-

Y stage to move the 50µm tic mark down until it is out of the 
aperture image. 

Then, crop the field of view on both the X and  Y axis 

slightly (indicated by the white dashed lines) and move the gray 
calibration crosshair so it is exactly in the center of the fixed 100µm 
aperture image. Then, rotate the top knob counter-clockwise to center 
the 50µm tic mark on the gray tick mark in the video calibration screen.

 

 

    

 

Crop FOV slightly and mark center of aperture im age 

 

           

 

50µm tic mark back into the center of the aperture image 

Crop the FOV on both 
the X and Y axis a 
small amount
