Saved image file format
You can set the saved image format to jpg, png or bmp.
jpg is a compressed file format, which gives the smallest file size and fastest performance. jpg is
best for general use.
png files are also compressed, but in a way that doesn’t lose any image data. This file type will
result in slightly better quality images but the file sizes are larger and performance slower.
bmp files are uncompressed, although the image quality should be the same as the lossless
compression used in png files. bmp files are very large and microscope performance will be very
much slower if you use bmp files.
