8) Press to return to the previous menu. Any calibration values will be erased unless
they have been saved.

millimeters are converted to inches, while values entered in micrometers or
nanometers are converted to millimeters.

1) Select a number in which you want to save the calibration value from s1 through s7 .
Drag the mouse pointer over one of numbers s1 through s7 , and the calibration
information for that number will be displayed in the Info area for your confirmation.
NOTE: 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 . The value
is selected automatically from s1 through s7 based on the hole
number of the nosepiece you are currently using.
2) Press Calib. to bring up the calibration screen shown below.

NOTE:
* If the microscope connected to your system is the Nikon 80i/90i microscope
with motorized or intelligent nosepiece and the calibration method you
selected is "using the magnification of the objective and relay lenses," you
do not need to enter the magnification of the objective. If the camera head
is connected to the rear port of the DIH, you do not need to enter the
magnification of the relay lens. If you calibrated with one objective, other
connected objectives will be also calibrated automatically with their
magnifications being converted.
* If you selected the "using the magnification of the objective and relay
lenses" calibration method, keep in mind that the calibration value may
incorporate a certain amount of error attributable to optical errors of the
objective. With the Nikon 80i/90i microscope connected, errors may range
up to 10%.
