       - Lock the head in its tilted position using the large tilt lock knob. Make sure knob is snug before letting go of the head but do not overtighten
       - If desired angle is greater then 60 degrees, pull the locking pin out away from the microscope before retightening the tilt lock knob. This should allow the microscope head to tilt up to 90 degrees. Be incredibly careful as the stage and objective will become very close at angles above 60 degrees.

+  - **Depth up**
     - The Keyence microscope is capable of taking hundreds of images as it raises the objective to capture an image larger depth of field. This is useful for observing objects that do not lie on a flat plane and would normally not be completely in focus. This image also contains depth mapping data which can be used to not only take XY and Z measurements, but also create a 3D mesh file of the scanned object.

+  * Be sure to turn off the microscope light as well as the fiberoptic MI-150 when imaging is finished
+  * If different light diffusers or polarizers are used during imaging please replace the original glass before leaving
