ROCK IMAGER can search your plates for drop locations and save the drop location to memory for
quicker future imaging sessions. Occasionally you may need to clear or reset a drop location on a
per-drop or per-plate basis. For example, if your drop grows beyond the original drop size, you may
need to clear the drop location and run the drop location algorithm again in order to get the best
images of your drops.
