The microscope will default to crossing
‘On’, we recommend that this is le on.
Step 1 Focus the microscope on the

magnicaon wheel unl the picture is
clear. Take a picture of the selected area
when the ruler lines are parallel to the
blue XY guides, as shown in the image.

captured to enter the measurement
interface.
Step 3 Once the image is open, click on
the calibraon icon. Using the mouse,
click on the beginning and ending points;
you must know the distance between the
points (using the ruler). A dialogue box
will pop up, enter the exact value of the
measurement into ‘Actual dimension’.
The soware will automacally calibrate
the magnicaon rate. Click ‘OK’ and the
adjusted magnicaon rate will show in
the upper right corner.
Step 4 Now using ‘Any Angle Line’,
under the measurement icon, measure
the same distance again. If the value
measured is approximately the same as
