Scan specimen with user set threshold – This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection.
•
To set the desired threshold value manually, change the setting in the Specimen threshold
level selection box in the range of 0-255. The default value is 35.
Setting smaller values result in a more sensitive scanning, meaning that more areas will be
digitized, however, this may also include specks or other imperfections of the slide.
Greater values result in a less sensitive scanning, but it is possible that some of the smaller
specimen areas will not be digitized.
Scan area inside the marker – If the specimen cannot be identified as required for
•
digitization, (for example, weak contrast), it can help to encircle completely the specimen
with a black marker pen.
Draw a full circle with the pen to enable the detection. Marker pen detection will make
specimen detection easier by limiting the scanned area.
If this option is selected, only the area encircled with a marker pen will be scanned. You can
define the threshold level by changing the threshold value in the Marker threshold level
selection box in the range of 0-255.
This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection inside the marker area. To set the desired
threshold value manually, change the setting in the Specimen threshold level selection box
in the range of 0-255. The default value is 35.
To scan everything within the marked area, check the Scan everything within marked area
selection box.
It is recommended to choose Scan everything within marked area
option if using FL mode, as the application is less capable of finding
the specimen based on the Specimen threshold level value.
