detailed
steps of carrying out calibration please refer to AF+ Intelligent Imaging Suite help manual.
Conjugate Correction: Click to do the Conjugate Correction before doing any
calibration. Then manually adjust the coarse and fine focus knob of microscope to make
sure the video is clear. Make sure the magnification in the software stays in accordance
with microscope magnification, and then select the corresponding Measurement Unit for doing
the measurement.
