Procedures & Tools
Microscope Training Guide
The guide linked above explains general usage info & the many advanced features available on most of our microscopes. New users are encouraged to read this, and also request in-person training by Demis.
Image Analysis Software
Many of our microscopes have cameras and software for image capture. If you know the microscope and objective used for acquiring a photo, you can make calibrated measurements on the photos at your own desktop using the following software:
- AmScope Software - microscope image analysis software
- Amscope Quickstart Usage Guide
- AmScope Calibration File containing calibrations for all NanoFab microscopes: Download Here
- Also available on Nanofiles-SFTP / Manuals / Amscope
- FIJI - scientific image anaylsis software
- The Microscope Measurement Tools plugin has pre-configured calibrations for NanoFab microscopes & SEMs, and allows you to draw length measurements.
- Calibrations in this plugin repository are out of date as of microscope upgrades in 2019.
- There are many other useful plugins, for particle counting, creating animations etc.
- The Microscope Measurement Tools plugin has pre-configured calibrations for NanoFab microscopes & SEMs, and allows you to draw length measurements.
