5.1.1 Profile Settings Panel
Scanmap
A previously saved scanmap can be loaded and applied.
•
Use Threshold:
Preview settings defined in the Microscope Controller Panel / Preview
window are applied as the basis of scanmap.
•
Load scanmap:
This function is useful if the slides contain areas of interest that cannot be
detected by the preview camera. This function along with saving profiles helps to scan all
slides with the most adequate settings.
•
To load a mask, click
Load
. It will display a drop-down menu. Select whether to load preview
mask or TMA grid.
•
Custom scanmap:
The scanmap draws manually on the preview image is used for scanning.
•
Use selection box restriction:
If selected, only the area inside the box is scanned. It is useful if
you only want to scan the area that is equivalent with the size of the coverslip, so external
specks will not be scanned.
Multilayer mode
•
Select
Single layer
option if you want to scan a single layer of the slide.
•
Extended focus:
By choosing the
Extended focus
option, the software selects the sharpest
image from each focus level for each image field, and combines them into one single image.
Therefore those parts that were blurry in auto/manual focus will also be sharp. This method
guarantees the maximum depth of sharpness, however, it reduces digitization speed.
