5.2.2.2 Focus Indicator
Click to activate the Focus indicator function. Search for the sharpest focus on the current field
of view automatically by clicking - Auto focus button.
If you select the Use fine focus option, the coarse focus level is calculated from three different focus
points of the specimen. Carry out a manual focusing sequence in the preview image on those three
points.
Set the correct focus value of the desired preview position by clicking SetI1, SetI2, or SetI3. If you
want to go back to any of the previously set focus points, click the appropriate button. To delete the
stored values, click Clear Values.
The software calculates a coarse focus level from the three values determined this way as a basis for
the fine focusing routine. You can only define the start parameter here. This will, however, speed up
the focusing process.
If you deselect the Use fine focus checkbox, the software immediately starts scanning on the basis of
the interpolated values, without pre-fine-focusing.
To define focus limits, select Limits of the range. Set the upper and lower limits by selecting the
desired value in the selection boxes. By using Set +-Range, the Lower limit value is set to -32 of the
current focus value and the Upper limit value is set to +32 of the current focus value. This is useful if
Auto Focus does not find the focus on the specimen, but on the coverslip. Also, this makes the
focusing sequence faster.
