14. Go to orthogonal View and, in Dual Camera Adapter Alignment tool, fine-tune the Z value if necessary. Larger Z values correspond to a shit of the green channel to the left. Then, acquire another Z-stack until perfect overlap of channels is achieved. Store current position!

15. In Dual Camera Adapter Alignment tool click XY for automatic alignment, if good overlap of channels is achieved, store current position, if not – move to stored position and in 'Continuous' mode change X and Y in the Dual Camera Adapter Alignment tool until overlap is achieved. Especially the beads in the center of the field of view should nicely overlap. Use the 'Profile > Display > Marker > Difference' tool to check the overlap.
