Fill holes in scan area – If selected, the holes inside the specimen will also be scanned.
•
Often these holes contain small sample objects that otherwise would not be scanned.
Remove specks – If selected, the scanner does not digitize objects smaller than the
•
predetermined size. This helps filtering specks and other uninteresting objects out. Set the
maximum size of specks not to be digitized by adjusting the Speck size slider.
Scan area dilation
Adjust the slider to the desired value to enlarge or decrease the scanned area. The edge is
extended discretely by 100 µm each time.
Use saved scan area
This function is useful if the slides contain areas of interest that cannot be detected by the
preview camera. This function along with saving profiles helps to scan all slides with the
most adequate settings. To save a new mask, click Save. It will display a drop-down menu.
Select whether to save preview mask or TMA grid. To load a mask, click Load. It will display
a drop-down menu. Select whether to load preview mask or TMA grid.
Use selection box
If selected, only the area inside the box is scanned. It is useful if you only want to scan the
area that is equivalent with the size of the coverslip, so external specks will not be scanned.
