Getting Started

Installing the Recipes Plug-in

Before installing the recipes plug-in, the NanoScope software v7.20 or later must be already installed on the microscope control computer. Please see the NanoScope User Guide for installation instructions. Once the NanoScope software has been installed, the recipes software may be installed by running the "RecipesSetup.exe" installer.

NOTE: Ensure that the NanoScope software is closed during the Recipes software installation.

You can find the System ID in About NanoScope under the Help menu in the NanoScope software:

  1. With the NanoScope software closed, double click the registry edit file:
