The Main Screen Elements

NanoScope version 8 software supports, depending on the microscope, one large (30 in., 2560 x 1600 pixels) single monitor (Dimension Icon, BioScope Catalyst and MultiMode 8) or, in the case of certain older systems, two smaller (19 in., 1280 x 1024 pixels) dual monitors.

The larger area of the single monitor allows for a fixed window configuration, shown in Figure 1.

Because of reduced screen area, the image window in the dual monitor GUI, shown in Figure 2, is smaller and displays at most two channels simultaneously. All windows in the dual monitor GUI may be resized or closed using standard Windows icons.

NOTE: The dual monitor GUI does not include the The Select Experiment Window.
