Autofocus

Deltavision Ultra has both image (contrast) based autofocus and hardware based autofocus.  The former is meant to be used when you need to quickly find 'an optimal' focal plane. The latter is uses infrared laser to keep the distance between the sample and the objective constant and is used during long time-lapse experiments to keep your sample in focus. Within the DV software the image based autofocus is called 'autofocus' and the hardware based autofocus is called UltimateFocus. 

Operating system
