To start working with PathoZoom® Scan, please follow these steps:
- Turn on the Set the microscope illumination to the max
- Place the microscope slide on the stage.
- Select the desired objective lens for scanning. It’s usually best to start with 4x (red ring) to locate the image, then switch to the 20x (green ring) to scan.
- As soon as the program is opened the following image will be seen (it may be out of focus like the frame below.
- Locate the sample and bring it into focus using the course and fine focus.
- If you have a black screen the microscope LED is not turned on or the brightness is turned too low.
- Make sure the microscope light (LED) is switched on and turn it to the brightness to maximum. You will be scanning with the 20x (green ring) but it’s best to use the 4X objective (red ring) to get initial lighting and focus since it has the largest field of view and is the easiest to focus. Move the stage to locate the specimen and use the coarse and fine focus to focus on the specimen. You should then see the specimen show up in the screen in a fashion somewhat like below.
