Calibrating the Stage

In order to set the x and y coordinates of the microscope stage, a stage calibration must be
performed to establish the reference point. Each time the application is opened, there will
automatically be a prompt to perform a stage calibration. A dialog box (see Figure 3-2) called
"Calibrate Top Edge" opens for guidance through the process.
