•
Right click and dragging moves the histogram.
•
The scroll wheel allows the user to move in and out.
•
Hovering the mouse over either the x or y axis and using the scroll wheel
zooms only that axis.
•
Clicking and dragging the scroll wheel allows a box to be drawn over a
selection and the histogram will zoom to fit.
The histogram for a line plot and a normal shape function slightly differently for now.
The line and polyline with have the retardation of each point as the line’s length. The
normal shapes will show the number of pixels (i.e. counts) at each retardation.
Multi-Order Samples
Occasionally, there is a need to measure retardation beyond the limit of a single
wavelength. To do this multiple wavelengths need to be measured and unwrapped
to find the correct order and value of a sample.
To complete this:
1. Measure the exact same area on two, three, or four wavelengths depending
on what hardware you have installed on your MicroImager.
2. The datasets (and all previous datasets) will appear in the data sets tab as
found in Figure 15.
