- 77 - 

You can measure the diameter and circumference of circles drawn on the screen and save circles 
and measurement results (diameter and circumference) as part of the overlay for the image. 

 

1) 

Press    Measure . The tool bar shown below will be displayed.   

 

 

2) 

Press a color icon (red, blue, green, black, white, or yellow) to set the color of the circle. 

3) Select 

the    icon. A circle of arbitrary size is displayed in the center of the image.   

To move the circle, click near the center and drag to where you wish the object to be 
located. To resize the circle, click near the circumference and drag to the desired size. The 
diameter and circumference will be displayed in the vicinity of the center. Each 
measurement result is assigned numbers 1 to 9. The number of circles drawn in the same 
color is limited to nine. To change colors, click another color icon, so measurement results 
in that color will be assigned numbers separately from those in other colors. To redraw a 
circle, use  Undo  or  Redo  to cancel or redo your most recent action. Up to 10 recent 
actions can be retrieved. 
Use    Clear    to erase all the content you’ve now entered. All lines drawn before 
confirmation with    Paste    will be erased. 

NOTE: 
* 

To measure a new circle, select the 

  icon once again. 

* 

If you draw a new circle in the middle of  Undo  or  Redo , recent 
measurement results cannot be canceled. 

 

4) 

To save a circle and its measurement results to the overlay of the image, press    Paste   
to fix after the measurement. 

5) Press    to return to the menu in which you previously were. Only measurement results 

angles confirmed with    Paste    will be saved.   
Once the content is fixed as valid, you cannot erase it unless you erase the entire overlay. 

NOTE: 
* 

The display information is interlocked with the menu size. Small characters 
are displayed when you are showing a small menu, and large characters are 
displayed when you are showing a large menu. 

* 

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 the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope 
with motorized 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.
