Acquisition Tab

Acquisition contains
microscope that are needed to set up and control
wide-field imaging by bright field or fluorescence,
designated in this manual as wide-field (WF), laser
wide-field imaging by epi-fluorescence and total
internal reflection fluorescence (Laser WF), wide-
field imaging with
microscopy (SIM) and laser scanning microscopy
(LSM).
It depends on the hardware configuration, which
of these functions are available. All wide-field
techniques use cameras, whereas LSM uses
internal photomultiplier tubes (PMT or GaAsP) for
detection.
For excitation all imaging modes uses lasers with
the exception of WF that employs the X-Cite. If
Acquisition is selected, the Acquisition tool
becomes available (Fig. 64).
The Acquisition tool is divided into the
− Experiment Manager field for loading
predefined configurations, action buttons
and definition of the multidimensionality of
the experiment and
− Tool Group field with the tool tabs for
setting the parameters for imaging.
