6-16 Operation
Operating the System Using the GUI Control Software
“Magnification, Immersion, Numerical Aperture, Tag1, Tag2, Tag3” without the
commas or spaces. If the objective name already exists, a message box informs you that
the name currently exists. The message box allows you to cancel or overwrite the
currently named objective file. (Refer to
“Commands and Queries” on page A-2 for the
objective name syntax.)
Up to 200 objective tables can be created.
During the time an objective is saved and the record is updated, the Select Objective
button is disabled.
Abort button—When pressed, ignores any new objective information and closes the
new objective panel.
Magnification field—Allows the user to choose a magnification level (from a
drop-down list) for the new objective that best matches the user’s microscope. Values are:
2.5 x40 x
4 x50 x
5 x60 x
10 x63 x
15 x93 x
20 x100 x
25 x
Immersion field—Allows the user to select water, glycol, air or oil.
N. Aperture field—Allows the user to select a numeric aperture (from a drop-down list)
that best matches the user’s microscope.
Tag fields (3) —Allows the user to select the three suffixes (from a drop-down list) to be
added to the objective name to make it unique.
Changing Wavelength Motor Position
To change the InSight X3 wavelength, either directly enter the new wavelength in the
Target Wavelength box, or click the graph at the new wavelength value (see
Figure 6-12). The red cross hair moves to the new value, and the target wavelength and
actual wavelength change to the new value. The Actual Wavelength field updates as
the InSight
X3 changes its wavelength. Meanwhile, the DeepSee motor moves to the
calibrated or interpolated position (shown by the Actual
Fine Tune field) according to
the entry in the selected objective. Wavelengths beyond the objective’s minimum or
maximum value are ignored.
