FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
•
Manual threshold
–
Set threshold value manually or calculate value on the actual
preview with
Calculate Threshold
function which is active only if setting the value
manually. This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection. To set the desired threshold
value manually, change the setting in the
Specimen threshold level
selection box in the
range of 0-255. The default value is 212. Smaller values result in a more sensitive scanning,
meaning that more areas will be digitized, however, this may also include specks or other
imperfections of the slide. Greater values result in a less sensitive scanning, but it is
possible that some of the smaller specimen areas will not be digitized.
•
Use marker with threshold
–
If the specimen cannot be identified as required for
digitization, (for example, weak contrast), it can help to encircle completely the specimen
with a black marker pen. You have to draw a full circle with the pen to enable the
detection. Marker pen detection will make specimen detection easier by limiting the
scanned area.
•
Manual setting of Use marker with threshold
–
If this option is selected, only the
area encircled with a marker pen will be scanned. You can define the threshold level by
changing the threshold value in the
Marker threshold level
selection box in the range of
0-255. This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection inside the marker area. To set the
desired threshold value manually, change the setting in the
Threshold
selection box in the
range of 0-255. The default value is 212.
•
Everything within marker
–
This function is available only to select if the
Use
marker with threshold
function is activated. To scan everything within the marked area,
check the
Scan everything within marker
selection box.
