5.5.1 Maintain – Adjust Pinhole and
Collimators
Expand the
Adjust Pinhole and Collimator tab
to have access to pinhole and collimator
adjustment (Fig. 553).
This function is only available for the
LSM
imaging mode.
This function permits pinholes and collimators to
be optimally aligned and adjusted to the used
beam path. The function can be called up in the
Maintain panel in the Adjust Pinhole and
Collimator tool of the Maintain tool group (see
Fig. 554).
The position of the pinhole (X-Y-Z-coordinates) in
relation to the detector makes a major contribution
to image optimization.
In all existing standard configurations, the pinholes
have already been adjusted at the factory. These
settings are taken over for active operation when a
standard configuration is loaded.
If you want to create a setting that differs from the
standard configurations, adjust the pinhole as
follows.
