Tap the appropriate icon, located on the right side of the touch screen (Figure 2), to access the
Position, Live, Gallery, or Merge functions.
Position Mode
The unit automatically goes into Position mode when it is powered on. The display area of the
touch screen shows the top view of the sample stage. The red crosshair is always over the
objective lens (Figure 2) and represents the actual imaging spot. Tap the Center icon to return
stage to the home position (X, Y; 0, 0) at any time.
Note: If the stage returns to center while you are viewing a sample, the sample viewing area
will change. To prevent accidental overlaying of images captured from different locations of the
sample, all images previously selected for merge (multicolor images) are cleared whenever the
stage is centered.
