Initial calibration wizard is confusing

The first screen of the wizard.

Some UI issues are:

  • To a new user the bold message mentioning the "before starting lens-shading calibration" is a bit confusing, because while it says Lens-shading above, none of the buttons below say it. "before running Full Auto-Calibrate" is explicit.
  • There are 4 options, but as standard people will only click the full one? We should hide the other three behind a drop down.
  • I almost clicked "next" without clicking the buttons above "next" logically means do the next thing. I think it should be "skip".

Suggested designs are attached below for comment

  • Doesn't explain what camera stage mapping is.
  • If this is the first time you boot a brand new microscope you will be a long way out of focus. It would be good to have a way to bring the image into focus in this tab.
