How to Check the Imaging Software Magnification Settings


Two software products can be used for length measurement:

  • cellSens software (for PC)
  • Stand-alone camera connection kit DP2-SAL/DP2-AOU control software

To confirm that the measurement settings are correct, youʼll need a 0.01 μm stage micrometer from Evident or a third party. These can be purchased from Evident.

Evident: Stage micrometer

Model: OB-M1/100micro

How to check the magnification:

Step 1: Set the objective micrometer on the microscopeʼs stage.

Step 2: Move the stage so that the micrometerʼs scales are in the center of the screen. Make sure theyʼre in focus.

Note regarding stand-alone connection kit measurement method

Note: For details about the stand-alone connection kit (DP2-SAL/DP2-AOU) measurement method, please refer to the softwareʼs instruction manual.

Step 5: Repeat step 4 for the objectives you are going to use.

*When you change objectives, be sure to verify the settings (see step 3).

If the measurement results differ from what you expect, thereʼs a possibility that the magnification setting is not correctly specified. Please check the magnification setting and change it if itʼs not correct.

If you have any questions, please contact your local Evident sales representative or our customer support center.
