Re: [micro-manager-general] Autofocusing with Olympus scope

[Arthur D. E. <art...@gm...>]

Hi Heather,

If you have the Olympus ZDC autofocus device, you can use that.
Otherwise you will need to use image-based autofocus. I recommend you
try the SimpleAutofocus device (this must be added in the hardware
configuration wizard). Please see
https://valelab.ucsf.edu/~nico/MMwiki/index.php/Autofocus_Device_Adapter
for instructions.

Best regards,
Arthur
