Wrong scalings with 2.5x Objective

Post by Gastón Valdivieso »

When configuring an Axioscope 5/Axiocam 208 with a macro objective (2.5x) iPAD’s Labscopev3.3.1 work normally but the Windows version has an error with this specific objective and its corresponding scale. In fact, It allows configuring the correct 2.5x objective, but when going to live mode the GUI shows a “25x” objective instead of the configured “2.5x”; thus assigning an incorrect scaling. How can it be solved?

Dear Gastón,

There seems to be a problem in Labscope with the language settings and the associated format settings in Windows. The decimal symbol will not be recognized correctly
We have infomored R&D about that.

I can submit you a workaround until the problem is solved:
For example: The problem occurs if your Windows language is set to German and Labscope language is set to English.
First navigate to Windows Control panel --> Region --> Additional Settings. Here you can change the decimal symbol from "," to "." Then it should work in Labscope. The 2.5x objective should recognized.
Please note that changing the decimal symbol may affect other software.

Another solution is that you set Labscope to German or Windows to English.

With best regards
Maik
