7. Starting and Using the Photomizer SE
Software

computer.

omizer SE software, we recommend set-
ting the resolution at 1278x960. To do this,
click on „adjust resolution". If the resolution
is not available, you can add it using the (+)
fi eld next to the resolution selection.
3. In the program window, click on „Open
camera".
4. If you have more than one device con-
nected to your PC, you can choose the
desired device in the next selection. If you
only have one connected device, you do
not need this step.
5. Now, you should be able to see the image
from the camera on your monitor. On the
microscope, bring the image into focus by
turning the focus adjustment knobs (6).
6. Click on „Capture" in order to capture an
image you would like to save. This will be
shown on the right in the menu bar.
7. Select this image with a single mouse click,
then click on „Transfer image".
8. You will now leave the image-capture stage,
and go back to the program window.
9. Now click at the top of the screen on "File"
and then on "save fi le" in order to secure
the image.
