| When using the acquisition software for the first time, it is necessary to import the microscope-specific parameters into the software. This procedure is usually carried out during the training session.However, it is also possible to use it to reset the software if it is not displayed correctly, for example. Note |
---|
Please note, this procedure will delete all your experiment protocols and restore the software to its original settings. |
- If open, close NIS-Elements and wait until it is completely closed
- On the Desktop open the folder Softwares
- Open NIS Settings Utility
- Click on the Import tab
- Click on Browse
- Navigate to your Documents

| This procedure puts the microscope in a safe configuration to load your sample. At the end the microscope will be ready for acquisition. UI Expand |
---|
| - If not already done, in NIS-Elements select 4x to select the 4x objective
Info |
---|
The 4x objective is the safest because it has the longest working distance (30mm). The sample will appear perfectly sharp long before the lens approaches it. It is recommended to always first focus with the safest lens. The objectives are parafocal, focusing with the safest objective will then allow you to easily find your sample with another objective. The 10x objective is also safe because its working distance is 15.2 mm. |
- If not done already, press Escape to lower the objective to the lowest position
- Place the test slide on the microscope stage with the coverslip toward the objective
Note |
---|
| Always use the test slide to perform the first focus. |
- If necessary, move the stage so that the sample is centered on the objective
- In NIS-Elements, select the optical configuration BF vis or the desired fluorescence (DAPI vis, ...) to activate the configuration
- Adjust the focus with the main dial while looking through the eyepieces until the image is perfectly sharp
Note |
---|
The focus can be found at Z = mm). The Z value can be found in the NIS Software XYZ Position tab. |
- In NIS-Elements, select the optical configuration Off to turn off the illumination

| - In NIS-Elements, click 10x, 20x or 40x to select the desired objective
Info |
---|
The 40x objective is the best Air objective because it has the greatest number of optical corrections (Plan Apochromat) and the largest numerical aperture (0.95). |
- In NIS-Elements, select the optical configuration BF vis or the desired fluorescence (DAPI vis, ...) to activate the configuration
- Adjust the focus with the precision dial while looking through the eyepieces until the image is perfectly sharp
- Select the optical configuration Off to turn off the illumination

| After performing the first focus, in NIS-Elements:
- In NIS, click Escape, to lower the objectives
Click 60x Oil or 100x Oil to select the desired objective. Info |

The 100x objective has the greatest resolution (NA 1.45 vs 1.4) |
- Place a single drop of oil on the objective
- In NIS-Elements, click again Escape to return the objective to its original position
- Select the optical configuration BF vis or the desired fluorescence (DAPI vis, ...) to activate the configuration

| This can happen when the acquisition software is turned on before the camera has fully initialized. |
|
|
Ensure the Initialize - Turn off the camera
- Wait few seconds
- Turn the camera back on
- Wait until the camera has fully initialize (light at the back of the camera no longer blinks)
- Start NIS-Elements

title | Can I use this microscope to look at cell in a dish? |
---|
| - Yes. This is an inverted microscope designed to look at specimen in a dish or a multi-well plate
- The objectives are optimized to image through thin glass bottom multi-well plates
- You may also image specimen mounted between a slide and a 0.17mm thick coverslip
- For long timelapse, be aware of photo-toxicity
