Figure 39 – Focus level and step size
•
With the
Z-stack
method separate layers are created and stored, and can be opened with
Pannoramic Viewer. The Z-stack slide contains the extended focus layer. 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.
Focus step size
determines the spacing between focus levels. One step is around 0.2 µm.
Default settings are:
Number of focus levels: 7; Focus step size: 5.
