Digital Gain
Note:
This is camera-dependent, when working with AxioCam MRm Rev 3
camera the Index value ranges from 0 to 4, and when using pco.edge
the value ranges from 0 to 6.
You can enter the
Index
value by entering it in the box or by selecting the value with the
arrow buttons.
If you raise the
Index
value, the exposition time is halved by every step, and the image
becomes noisier.
Focus
To define focus limits, select
Limiting the range
checkbox. Set the upper and lower limits by
selecting the desired value in the selection boxes. This is useful if
Auto Focus
does not find
the focus on the specimen, but on the coverslip. Also, this makes the focusing sequence
faster.
By using
Set Current
, the
Lower limit
value is set to -32 of the current focus value and the
Upper limit
value is set to +32 of the current focus value.
Use the two arrow buttons to focus manually. This is useful when you are interested in an
area that remained blurry with
Auto Focus
(for example, the specimen is thicker in that
area). This does not influence the way slides are digitized in Automatic mode. The manual
focus is mainly for setup purposes, not for using the product as a traditional microscope.
Define the manual focus step size by adjusting the
Step size
slider.
Search for the sharpest focus on the current field of view automatically by clicking
.
Note:
If you want to speed up the process, turn off the live image display,
because this reduces the processing speed of any concurrently running
function.
