There are currently only two microscopes that we have used with the software.
The basic microscope requirements are the following:
1) It has a trinocular tube: a camera can be mounted and the camera view is the same as the eyepiece view.
2) It is compatible with one of the computer controlled stages.

Description
|
Axioplan 2 Imaging microscope with an Axiophot 2 head
Specifications and Manaul
|
-
Field Number (FN) of the oculars (eyepieces) = 23mm
-
Magnification of eyepiece (mag_e) = 10x
-
Magnification of objective (mag_o) = 2.5x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x
-
FOV at Mag_o = FNmm/mag_o
-
FOV at 2.5x = 23mm/2.25 = 9.200mm
-
FOV at 5x = 23mm/5 = 4.600mm
-
FOV at 10x = 23mm/10 = 2.300mm
-
FOV at 20x = 23mm/20 = 1.150mm
-
FOV at 40x = 23mm/40 = 0.575mm
-
Apparent diameter of microscope image "at 25cm" = FN*mag_e = 23cm
Diameter for ocular micrometer (reticle) = 26mm

Olympus BX43
Specifications and Manaul
|
-
Field Number (FN) of the oculars (eyepieces) = 22mm
-
Magnification of eyepiece (mag_e) = 10x
-
Magnification of objective (mag_o) = 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x
-
FOV at Mag_o = FNmm/mag_o
-
FOV at 2x = 22mm/2 = 11.00mm
-
FOV at 4x = 22mm/4 = 5.50mm
-
FOV at 10x = 22mm/10 = 2.20mm
-
FOV at 20x = 22mm/20 = 1.10mm
-
FOV at 40x = 22mm/40 = 0.55mm
-
Apparent diameter of microscope image "at 25cm" = FN*mag_e = 22cm
-
Diameter for ocular micrometer (reticle) = 24mm
