•
Stitching:
Use Stitching function enables the seamless stitching of digital tiles.
•
Use saved compensation image:
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. 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.
•
Save focus quality
: The measurement of focus quality (correctness of average
focus on layers) is saved. This option is inactive when
Extended focus
option is
activated.
