�.� Measuringtools
Provides calibration function as well as measurement function for dynamic
or still image in the preview window.
�.�.� Calibration
Step 1: Please place the micrometer under the microscope, the example
below uses a micrometer with 1DV= 0.01mm.
Step 2: Click on “
” to bring up the calibration table as shown below.
Step 3: When using the mouse to draw a straight line on the micrometer
image and setting the scale length, selecting a longer scale length will
give more accurate results. For example, selecting 10 small scale
lengths will give you more accuracy than selecting only 1 scale length.
After releasing the mouse, the image value of the line drawn with the
mouse will be automatically updated in the "Benchmark" of the calibra-
tion table, as shown in the following figure.

In the calibration table, enter the actual length that just drawn on the
micrometer, for example, the sample figure is drawn 10 DV, that is,
0.1mm, or 1000μm, then enter the "actual length" box to fill in the
specified 1000, "unit" select “μm”. Then click "Add" to add this
calibration value to the calibration table to be used. Add the calibration
value for other objectives of different magnifications in this way.
