Manual threshold
–
Set threshold value manually or calculate value on the
actual preview with
Calculate Threshold
function which is active only if
setting the value manually. This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection. To
set the desired threshold value manually, change the setting in the
Specimen
threshold level
selection box in the range of 0-255. Smaller values result in a more
sensitive scanning, meaning that more areas will be digitized, however, this may
also include specks or other imperfections of the slide. Greater values result in a
less sensitive scanning, but it is possible that some of the smaller specimen areas
will not be digitized.
Use marker with threshold
–
If the specimen cannot be identified as required for
digitization, (for example, weak contrast), it can help to encircle completely the specimen with a
black marker pen. You have to draw a full circle with the pen to enable the detection. Marker pen
detection will make specimen detection easier by limiting the scanned area.
Manual setting of Use marker with threshold
–
If this option is selected, only the area
encircled with a marker pen will be scanned. You can define the threshold level by changing the
threshold value in the
Marker threshold level
selection box in the range of 0-255. This sets the
sensitivity of the specimen detection inside the marker area. To set the desired threshold value
manually, change the setting in the
Threshold
selection box in the range of 0-255.
Everything within marker
–
This function is available only to select if the
Use marker with
threshold
function is activated. To scan everything within the marked area, check the
Scan
everything within marker
selection box.
