Plate Acquisition Setup Dialog: Configure Tab, Sites to Visit Tab
Use the Sites to Visit tab to configure the number of sites to acquire for each well in a plate
acquisition protocol. You can acquire a single site per well or multiple sites per well. The
number of sites that you can acquire in a well depends on the size of the well, the objective
magnification, the distribution of sample material in the well, the type of plate, and the fluid
content of the well.
The tabs dynamically update according to the options you select. The site map, which is a
graphical representation of the sites that you configure, dynamically updates based on the
configuration options you select and the values you specify for the options.
Note: Use the plate map and site map at the top of the Plate Acquisition Setup dialog to
select and move to the wells and sites to analyze in the plate acquisition protocol.
The following sections describe these procedures:
Acquiring a Single Site in Each Well, see below
Acquiring a Fixed Number of Sites in Each Well, see page 79
Configuring Adaptive Acquisition for Well Sites, see page 82
Configuring Multi-Well Acquisitions, see page 88
Acquiring a Single Site in Each Well

unwanted sites. See
