To help researchers to use the Morgentau M1 microscope software more efficiently, tutorial videos were produced which are also provided online. One of the videos shows how to use navigation points in case the researcher wants to relocate the microscope stage to a specific point later on, to map a structure of the specimen, or to trace the path of a dendrite. Another tutorial explains how photos of the specimen can be taken, how they can be stitched together, and how they can be exported for later use (e.g., in a paper or in a presentation).

Currently, these online tutorials exist:

• Navigation Points: Using navigation points to navigate, mark objects and find previous positions again
• Stitching Images Together: Demonstrating how images can be stitched together
• Path for Scanning: Showing how equidistant navigation points can be defined along a dendrite
• Zoom and Autofocus: Using autofocus and zoom capabilities
