Using the MODE Function

The MODE function allows the microscopy state (position and status of motorized devices) to be stored in microscope's
memory and restored at a push of a button. A single microscopy state is stored as a single mode. Up to eight modes can
be stored and named with up to 4 characters. The motorized devices for which the state is restored can be selected for
each mode. The MODE button on the Ni-E microscope main body can also be used to restore a state registered as a
mode.

Registering/Changing Target Motorized Devices

2.1
Before using the MODE function, specify the motorized devices for which the status is restored.
The following motorized devices can be selected.
Setting Item
[CONDEN.] (Ni-E only)
[FL TURRET]
[FL [SHUTTER]]
[FL 2nd] (Ni-E only)
[FL2 [SHUTTER]](Ni-E only)
[EX WHEEL] (Ni-E only)
[BA WHEEL] (Ni-E only)
[PATH] (Ni-E only)
[Z] (Ni-E only)
[EPI/DIA/AUX shutter]
[LAMP]
[INTSL [SHUTTER]]
[LAMP ADJ.]
[INTSL]
[A. STOP]
[F. STOP] (Ni-E only)
[ZOOM] (Ni-E only)
[ND WHEEL] (Ni-E only)
*1: When using the Ni-E microscope, the elevating section is automatically unselected by turning the power of the
microscope main unit off and then on again, so as to avoid contact between the specimen and the objective.
