Optical Control / TIRF
Optical Control:
- Target: set the target illumination angle. Hover around the target angle box to show the angle range of the illumination:
- Current: show the illumination angle feedback in real-time. For more details on finding the correct TIRF angle, check here.
- Reinitialize: reinitialize the illumination stage and move it to its origin (0).
- Engage 3D Lens: engage/disengage the 3D lens for 3D imaging. For more details, check here.
- Enable Confocal: enable/disable confocal. For more details, check here.
