Measuring Two-point Distance or Entering Information—TOOL Menu
3.1
Outline of the TOOL Menu
Display a menu and select the [TOOL] tag on it, and the TOOL menu will be displayed.
In the TOOL menu, the following functions are available to utilize the photographed image.
• In overlay, you can measure the distance between two points, enter a comment, or
compare images laid on top of another.
• You can place overlaid information on top of a photographed image before saving or
printing the image.
Note, however, that the TOOL menu is subject to the following limitations:
• A mouse is needed for almost all operations performed from the TOOL menu. Although
text can be entered from a keyboard, you need a mouse to use this function.
• The TOOL menu cannot be used in C.Scan mode.
• The TOOL menu is disabled during electronic zoom. The contents you drew or entered
from the TOOL menu are hidden when you turn on the electronic zoom. (The hidden
contents can be redisplayed after you turn off the electronic zoom.)
• If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope with
motorized or intelligent nosepiece, the content drawn with the TOOL menu displayed on
the screen (pen, count marker, text, two points distance measurement, circular,
perpendicular, angular measurements, or superimposition) is deleted when you switch the
objectives.
• If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope with digital
imaging head, the content drawn with the TOOL menu displayed on the screen (pen, count
marker, text, two points distance measurement, circular, perpendicular, angular
measurements, or superimposition) is deleted when you change the magnification of the
optical zoom.
• If the microscope connected to your system is a Nikon modular microscope with a
motorized nosepiece, the content drawn with the TOOL menu displayed on the screen (pen,
count marker, text, two points distance measurement, circular, perpendicular, angular
measurements, or superimposition) is deleted when you switch the objectives.
