Quick Fluro Tab

The Quick Fluro tab can be used for fine focusing under challenging conditions
such as fluorescence microscopy. View sets a combination of values
automatically to assist the user in focusing more precisely. The values set
include exposure time, gain and frame rate. Additionally, the Fine Mode option
allows the user the set the exposure time manually by selecting the time in
seconds and milliseconds.
Image Capture
There is a second group of user controls on the
right hand side panel, headed Camera
Capture Config. The Capture button can be
used to capture a single frame or a series of
frames in BMP format. The location of the
captured files and the number of frames can
be specified by clicking the Config button.
By adjusting these options it is possible to
specify how many frames to capture and a
time lapse between the frames. The captured
frames are also displayed as thumbnails on the
bottom right hand side corner.
Video can be captured in AVI format by clicking
the Start Video button. This button toggles
between Start Video and Stop Video. Once
the Start Video button has been pressed, the
camera will capture and store the data on the
hard disk until Stop Video is clicked by the
user.
The location of the stored file(s) can be specified by clicking the Config button.
By default, video data is stored uncompressed in order to preserve high image
quality. Optionally, it is possible to compress the AVI files by clicking the Video
Compress button.
Captured images can be processed in View by clicking the Open And Edit
button underneath the captured image.
The image to be processed should be present in the folder in which the image
was stored. This folder can be specified by pressing the Config button.
