and operate the Auto Focus once or continuously. For this puropse press the Home / Microscope

− "Work / Load" can also be used at smaller magnifications and for reflective surfaces (see section

To avoid errors, the surface of the sample
should always be within the capture range of the
objective and be sufficiently reflective. See also Table 3 on page 26, Surface of sample and
recommended settings.
The two statuses Working / Standby are shown
by a variable status icon (Fig. 14) on the TFT
display. During this time the controller shows the
status message Working 'xx' s / Standby.
Error messages are visualised by means of a red
dot with a white "X" next to the status icon.
If the Auto Focus cannot find a clear focal plane
during focusing once, it will discontinue the
focusing procedure after 6 attempts and an error
message will be displayed on the controller.
If error messages appear, consult the
Troubleshooting section on page 33.
The Auto Focus can alternatively be activated / deactivated in accordance with the specifications
or the menu of the imaging software (Axio Vision, version 4.9.1 or later).
