These settings will determine the resulting quality and storage location of the virtual slide.
You can choose the following image formats in the Image Encoding field:
JPEG – The quality can be adjusted with the JPEG quality factor slider. Greater values result
•
in better quality, but larger files. The default setting is 80%.
PNG – lossless compressed image format.
•
BMP – lossless uncompressed image format, but larger files due to less effective
•
compression. It is a raw data file.
Scan Settings
Focus distance in field-of-views – the distance of focal points can be set to create a focus
•
map, based on which the software calculates interpolated focus values (one step in distance
means one FOV).
Save focus quality – the measurement of focus quality (correctness of average focus on
•
layers) is saved. This option is inactive when Extended focus option is activated.
Use Stitching function enables the seamless stitching of digital tiles.
•
Save image in original Bayer size function is only available for products installed with
•
Stingray camera. It is not accessible for configurations installed with CIS camera.
Image fields will be saved with native pixel resolution. If this function is disabled, you will
work with reduced pixel resolution. These resolution differences are not really visible with
the human eye, what is important in this feature is the resulting smaller file size.
Brightfield Compensation
The Use saved compensation image function enables to use previously recorded reference
images for all slides. Use this function when the slide is completely covered by the specimen
(for example, blood smear) thereby making compensation image capture impossible. For
such slides, use an empty slide with coverslip to grab a compensation image (for more
information, see section
If you select this function, the software will not create new compensation images for each
slide. Compensation images are reference images used for white balancing and shading.
