Pannoramic 250 FLASH II 1.18.1 User’s Guide
4 Software Description
•
With the
Z-stack
method separate layers are created and stored, and can be opened with
Pannoramic Viewer. A Z-stack slide includes extended focus layers.
•
Both for
Extended focus
and
Z-Stack
scanning methods, you can determine the desired
number of focus levels with the
Focus levels
selection box. The current focus value is the
starting point. If you set
5
for example, one current, two focus levels above and below FOVs
are captured. Therefore, it is advised to choose an odd number for the focus levels. Separate
layers are created and stored this way, and can be opened with Pannoramic Viewer.
Focus step size
determines the spacing between focus levels. One step is around 0.2 µm.
The default settings are:
Number of focus levels
: 7;
Focus step size
: 5.
