We recommend that all images should be saved (exported) first in the
b16 or TIFF format.
The advantage is to have the b16 or tiff images
available all the time. You will always have the maximum 12 bit information.
Please note that not all image analysis programs can accommodate 16 bit
data. The 8 bit format saves only the information displayed on the monitor
screen. The 12 bit information will be lost and cannot be displayed later.
