2-2-4 Acquiring Multiple Images (XYZ, XYT or XYZT Observation)
Acquisition of a large number of image slices takes a very long time. In such a case, it is
possible to acquire the images of only the required areas in a shorter time by narrowing
the observation range and scanning range.
1. Acquire an image in the XY observation mode. For the detailed operation method,
see section 2-2-1, “Image Acquisition in XY Observation Mode”.
2. Select the [Surface XY-Norm] option button in the [Scan Mode] group box in the
[Acquire] panel, then select <Clip> from the list displayed below it.
A frame indicating the scanning range will be displayed in the [Live] panel.
3. Move the frame around the range to be observed. The frame can be moved by
placing the mouse pointer inside it and dragging.
4. Change the frame size. To change the frame size, click a point inside the frame
with the mouse pointer. When square handles are displayed on the frame edges,
place the mouse pointer on one of them and drag it.
5. Acquire images by clicking the <XYZ>, <XYT> or <XYZT> button.
6. After acquiring images, select <Normal> from the list displayed below the [Surface
XY-Norm] option button in the [Scan Mode] group box to set the scanning range to
the original setting.
It is not permitted to change the scanning range after having acquired
images. If you want to change the scanning range again, select
<Normal> from the list displayed below the [Surface XY-Norm] option
button in the [Scan Mode] group box to set the scanning ragne to the
original setting, acquire an image in the XY observation mode, then
select <Clip> in the [Scan Mode] group box and reselect the scanning
range.
