3.1

 

Microscope stand requirements  

The grid projection method used for the ApoTome.2 is very sensitive to vibrations that may originate 
from different sources. Vibrations are visible in the result image as streak artifacts. Therefore, the 

microscope should be installed as free from vibrations as possible on an anti-vibration table or a suitable 
microscope support.
