Levenhuk calibration slide 1 - LEVENHUK

A calibration slide is necessary to improve measurement accuracy when using an image analysis program. It is used to determine the correction factor that the program will use for the selected objective. Calibration is performed for each objective used.

The Levenhuk 1 calibration slide is a standard-sized clear glass with a micrometer scale printed on it. The scale has 100 divisions and the division value is 0.01 mm.

How to use the calibration slide:

1. Attach the slide on the microscope stage.
2. Rotate the nosepiece to select the working objective.
3. Set the camera to maximum resolution shooting mode and then take a photo of the scale.
4. In the image analysis program, select the calibration mode, use the mouse to indicate the maximum visible distance, and then enter the resulting value in real units.
5. Enter the name of the calibration and double check the values.
6. If everything is done correctly, the program will remember the correction factor and, in the future, independently convert the values to the required units of measurement.
