Levenhuk 1 Calibration Slide

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.

Levenhuk 1 Calibration Slide is a standard size transparent glass with a micrometric scale printed on it. The scale has 100 divisions and the division value is 0.01mm.

How to use the calibration slide:

1. Fix the slide on the microscope stage.
2. Rotate the revolver to select the working objective.
3. Set the camera to shooting mode at maximum resolution 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 it will independently convert the values into the required units of measurement.
