Which way is up when I adjust the focus on the display?

When you adjust the focus using the mouse's track-wheel it isn't easy to tell whether the stage is moving up or down.

As you lower the Z Galvo stage insert, moving the sample away from the objective lens, the Z Position approaches zero or becomes negative. Likewise the Z Position value becomes greater as you move the sample towards the objective.
