INTRODUCTION TO LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPY

LSM 510

Functions

B 40-051 e 07/98

5-27

A grey value range of the

Input

image sequence is scaled to another range in the

Output

image

sequence. Both ranges can be edited interactively. This function is used to achieve a better view of an
image sequence, or to scale a range of grey values to single value for a special coding in an image
sequence. The function does not improve the result of the linear segmentation function

Segment

.

Input

indicates the sequence to enhance. If it is a multichannel sequence, a single channel, all channels,

or any number can be selected. The

Input

histogram shows the grey value distribution of the selected

channels of the

Input

image sequence.

Output

defines the name of the result sequence. It will get only those channels which are chosen by the

Input

parameter. The buttons labeled with 8 and 12 define the grey value (intensity) resolution in bit.

Normally the result will get the same resolution as the

Input

sequence. A change will be needed if image

sequences with different resolutions should be combined. Rising the grey value range to 12 bit will not
enhance the display quality or measurement accuracy. The smooth and morphology functions will
produce results with finer gradations.

If

Clip Grey Values

is selected, the output grey values are clipped to the

Low (L)

and

High (H)

values. If

Clip Grey Values

is not selected, output grey values beyond the

Low

and

High

value range are

possible.

The

Output

histogram shows the resulting histogram. The horizontal axis represents the grey values

from 0 to the maximum, which is either 255 or 4095, depending whether the input is 8 bit or 12 bit.
The vertical axis represents the pixel count. The selected range is marked by the borderlines in the
histogram. The blue line or

L

indicates the lower boundary, the red line or

H

the upper one,

C

indicates

the center of the range.

There are three ways to change the range: clicking and dragging the borderlines with the mouse.
