The Touch Screen adjusts all motorized components of

vidual microscope.

Level 1: Navigation bar
Level 2: Menu bar

left-hand border of the display), the corresponding menu
bar (on the top border of the display) is shown. The display
on the control panel changes accordingly. For some func-
tions, an additional information fi eld appears above the op-
erating keys.
