<About CQ1 autofocus>
CQ1 can perform 2 types of autofocus, which are laser based and
image based.
Laser Autofocus detects surface of bottom plate or cover glass by laser
and set the surface as Z base position. Please note that surface to
detect (Z base positon) is different by the kind of sample vessel. (Refer
to following table.)
Image Autofocus acquires image by designated channel and sets the Z
position that maximum intensity is obtained as Z base position.

bottom plate of sample vessel. For details, please refer to page 5-20.
