By displaying XY scales on the screen, you can measure the approximate dimensions of the 
subject. Because the X and Y scales can be moved independently, you can move the scales close 
to the subject before measuring its dimensions. 

 

1) 

Select the calibration value you want to use from  s1  through  s7 . 

2) 

Press  C.Scale  to display scales corresponding to the selected calibration value. 

3) 

Point to part of the X scale and click the mouse button. Hold down the button while you 
move the mouse. The position of the X scale moves as you move the mouse. 

4) 

When the X scale position is where you want it, release the mouse button to set the 
position of the X scale. 

5) 

The position of the Y scale can be moved in the same way. 

6) 

To hide the displayed scales, press  C.Scale  again. 

NOTE: 
* 

It may not be possible to display XY scales, depending on the selected 
calibration value. If XY scales cannot be displayed, a message “C.Scale NG!” 
is displayed in the Info area. In that case, change the calibration unit that 
has been set, for example, from 1 mm to 1000 µm. 

* 

Normally, values with these functions are labeled with the units "nm," "µm," 
"mm," or "cm." However, if calibration values are selected after inch/mil 
conversion, they are labeled "mil," and an "E" is indicated, representing inch 
conversion. 

* 

If you perform an electronic zoom while using this function, the screen 
display will reflect the zoom magnification. 

* 

If you change the optical zoom of the digital imaging head while using this 
function with the Nikon 80i/90i microscope connected to your system, the 
screen display will reflect the zoom magnification. 

* 

If you change the objective while using this function, and if the microscope 
connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope using a motorized 
nosepiece or intelligent nosepiece, the screen display will change 
accordingly. 

* 

If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope 
using a motorized nosepiece or intelligent nosepiece, note that each 
calibration value call number is linked to the hole number of the nosepiece. 
This means you cannot change calibration values by selecting    s1    through   

  s7 . Calibration values are automatically changed when you change the 

objective.
