and focus your view. Make sure that the vertical axis of the grid is parallel to scale divisions
and capture an image. Double-click the image thumbnail to open it in a separate window.

Once you choose the second point, a dialog window will open, where you have to enter
the known distance in the Actual dimension field. The application will automatically
calculate the magnification of the image. Click OK to close the dialog window. The
calculated magnification will be displayed in the Magnification field.
Note: Chosen points should form a horizontal line.
You can check calibration results by measuring the same distance with the Straight line tool.
Click the measurements icon, choose the Straight line tool and draw a similar line on the
image. If the measured distance is equal to the actual distance, calibration has been successful.
Recalibration
The calibration process has to be repeated if the magnification or focus has been changed
during observations.
Click the corresponding icon on the toolbar again and select Reset picture magnification
from Reset magnification. Repeat the calibration process, as described above. Change the
magnification and capture a few images. Double-click one of the thumbnails to open the
resulting image in a preview window. Click the calibration icon on the toolbar and select
Set picture magnification from Set magnification. Enter the current magnification in the
dialog window that appears and click OK.
If you want to use the same magnification when capturing images in the future, click the
calibration icon on the toolbar and select Set capture magnification from Set magnification.
