Can an Axiolab5 Encoded Nosepiece Be Read in Windows Labscope?

Post by William Marganski »

We have an Axiolab 5 with an encoded nosepiece, Axiocam 208c and Labscope installed on a Windows computer. We connected the camera to the back of the microscope using a Micro-D USB cable. We also connected the camera to the computer via USB. We installed the latest version of Labscope on the computer. We can see the live image in Labscope but the objective does not change in the software when we change it on the microscope. In the Axiolab 5 manual we see that the encoded nosepiece can be read in Labscope using this set up. Is this not the case? How do we get the nosepiece information read in Labscope? Thank you.

The readout of the microscope (encoded nosepiece/encoded reflector revolver) does not work via USB only via network. You can use a USB->Ethernet adapter on the PC to connect the camera directly to a PC.
