While scanning, the positions in the GenePix Pro Slide Carrier Map change
color depending on their scan status:
•
Light-blue outline: scan is in progress.
•
Green: scan completed successfully.
•
Red: slide was not scanned because of a slide handling failure, or scan
cancellation.
Press the
Stop
button in GenePix Pro to stop the current scan in a batch, and
you are offered two choices:
•
To continue scanning the batch from the current position in the slide
carrier, select
Continue
.
•
To cancel the batch or to restart a batch from a position that has already
been scanned, press
Stop
. The slide carrier ejects, and you must remove
it and then reinsert it to start scanning again.
Setting PMT Gain Automatically
GenePix Pro and the GenePix Autoloader scanner support automatic setting of
PMT gain when scanning. The algorithm requires a GenePix Array List (GAL) or
GenePix Settings (GPS) file that both accurately describe the size of features, and
their approximate positions. The GAL/GPS file does not need to be aligned to
features, but it does need to be roughly near the features on the array.
See the GenePix Pro Help for more on Auto PMT.
