Multidimensional Acquisition Tool group
Note that not all functions are available for all imaging modes. Only those functions that are
available can be activated; non-available functions are greyed out and inactive.
Note that some functions are mutually exclusive. In this case checking one function will inactivate
all other functions that are incompatible with the former.
Note that some functions need other functions for a useful experiment. In this case checking that
function will activate the other needed functions as well. The latter can be, however, manually
deselected, if required.
Pressing the
Start Experiment
button will trigger the image acquisition, taking into account all activated
functions. The progress of the experiment in regard to which image the system currently acquires will be
shown updated to the right of the functions if available (Fig. 77).

Upon pressing the
Start Experiment
button it turns into a
Finish current step
button, whereas the
graphical display
field turns into a
Stop
button. Pressing the
Stop
button immediately finishes the
acquisition. Pressing the
Finish current step
button will interrupt the multidimensional acquisition after
the currently performed step; e. g. when performing a Z-Stack over time it will finish the current Z-Stack
and then stop the experiment.
If
Start Experiment
is pressed and the
camera is not yet cooled to its working
temperature, an
Info
message pops up,
telling that the temperature of the camera is
not stabilized. This information tells a
customer that the noise of the camera is not
optimal (Fig. 78).
