Specimen Navigator Tool
To position the sample holder for imaging while
using the
Locate Capillary
or
Locate Sample
function, the
Specimen Navigator
tool window is
available in the Locate tool tab (Fig. 41).
Here the relative positions of the sample (light-grey
cylinder), the illumination light-sheet (light-blue), as
well as the x-axis (red), y-axis (green), and z-axis
(blue) are graphically displayed. You can choose
between an
Isometric View
, a
Top View
or a
Front View
for orientation.
In all of these Views, you can zoom into the
graphical display by clicking once into the graphic
with the left mouse button and afterwards
pressing the
Ctrl
key on your keyboard (Fig. 42).
For increased zooming, press the Ctrl key with the
Shift key. The zoom will last as long as the key or
combination of keys are pressed. To remain in the
zoom mode, press the Alt key at the right side of
the keyboard also. The zoom will remain until the
Ctrl key is pressed again.
To move the sample holder in the x-, y-, or z-
direction, you can either place the mouse over the
according colored line in the graphic, hold it with
the left mouse button and drag it to the required
position; or you can use the sliders and spin boxes
for each axis below the graphic. To rotate the
sample holder, use the slider or spin box.
There are two options for rotating the sample.
With
Rotate around Center of image
selected,
the x and y positions are additionally corrected for
rotational movement to keep the sample within
the chosen field of view when rotating. This can be
helpful when the sample is not in the center of the
embedding medium. If the option
Rotate around
Drive axis
is chosen, the sample holder is rotated
around its main axis without any correctional
movements for the other axis.
