Accordingly, further adjustments can be made, except if PNG or BMP image format is
selected.
Figure 25 – Image encoding window
◦
JPEG
– The quality can be adjusted with the
JPEG quality factor
slider. Greater
values result in better quality, but larger files. The default setting is 80%.
◦
PNG
– Lossless compressed image format.
◦
BMP
– Lossless uncompressed image format, but larger files due to less effective
compression. It is a raw data file.
Scan Settings
•
Focus distance in field-of-views
– the distance of focal points can be set to create a focus
map, based on which the software calculates interpolated focus values (one step in distance
means one FOV).
•
Use Stitching
function enables the seamless stitching of digital tiles.
•
Save image in original Bayer size
function is only available if Stingray camera is installed on
the scanner. It is not accessible for configurations installed with CIS camera.
Image fields will be saved with native pixel resolution. If this function is disabled, you will
work with reduced pixel resolution. These resolution differences are not really visible with
the human eye, what is important in this feature is the resulting smaller file size.
Brightfield Compensation
The
Use saved compensation image
function enables the use of previously recorded
reference images for all slides. Use this function when the slide is completely covered by the
specimen (for example, blood smear) thereby making compensation image capture
impossible. For such slides, use an empty slide with coverslip to grab a compensation image
(for more information, see section
). If you select this, the
software will not create new compensation images for each slide. Compensation images are
reference images used for white balancing and shading.
