SAVE

 

– Allows you to save you image to a USB, to the tablet, or to a network drive. Images 

can be saved as a TIFF or JPEG file. File names are automatically generated with a date 

and time stamp, but you can override the automatically generated name by touching the 

displayed textbox. A keypad will appear for you to name your file. Note: Azure does not 

recommend saving images to the tablet computer, in order to maintain a fast processing 

speed for the application.

 

   

 

SAVE ALL

 

– Allows you to save all images open in Gallery tab.

 

   

   

 

PRINT

 

– Allows you to print to a printer attached to the system, or to a printer on the 

network. 

 

    

 

    

   

CONTRAST 

– Manually adjust the black, white and gamma settings for 

the displayed image. Recommended for chemiluminescent blots. 

Note: Adjusting these settings will not affect the raw data in your image 

when saved as TIFF image. Only image saved in JPEG would keep the 

contrast settings. Azure recommends to use TIFF if the image needs to 

be quantified. 

      
        

AUTO 

– Auto contrast will contrast your image so as to see the most features in the image. 

Note: Azure recommends to crop the image for the area of the sample before auto contrast 

to make picture look best.

      

INVERT

 

– Invert will display your image with dark and light pixels reversed. 

 

   

  

 

SATURATION

 

– Selecting Saturation will show you images with intensities beyond the 

dynamic range of the camera.

          

 

SINGLE/MULTICHANNEL VIEWING

 

– When a multicolor image is displayed 

in the gallery, you will have the option of viewing single channels, 

or all three channels at once. By default, the image is displayed 

as a multichannel image. At this point, contrasting the image will 

contrast all channels. To view just one channel, select the button 

that corresponds to the channel you wish to view. To go back to 

the multichannel image, select the button with the three overlapping 

colored circles. 

          

 

ROTATE 90 DEGREES, FLIP HORIZONTAL, FLIP VERTICAL 

– By select one or 

more of these icons, you will shift the alignment of your image. 

 

   

  

    

IMAGE INFO

 

– Image info displays information on how your image was acquired. If the 

image was generated by an Azure cSeries system, it will remember the selects that 

allowed you to acquire that image, and display values such as image time, filter settings, 

and date the image was acquired. 

 

   

  

   

ROI

 

– If you select ROI, a crop window will appear over you image. By selecting the 

green edges of the box, you can adjust the size of the box. If you wish to crop you 

image, select 

CROP

 on the lower right of the image. Select 

CANCEL

 if you do not wish to 

crop the image. 

      

 

ZOOM IN/ZOOM OUT 

– Use these features to increase or decrease the zoom factor 

on your image.
