PANNORAMIC® SCAN RX 1.1
Caution!
It requires lots of time (since it cannot find focus neither on the edges, nor on specks) to
digitize coverslip edges. Select Remove coverslip function to eliminate those areas.
Warning!
Do not use Remove coverslip function on TMA slides! The layout of TMA slides may mislead
the detecting algorithm.
o Fill holes inside the scanmap – If selected, the holes inside the specimen will also
be scanned. Often these holes contain small sample objects that otherwise would
not be scanned.
o
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.
o Dilate mask – Adjust the slider to enlarge or decrease the scanned area. The edge
is extended discretely by 100 µm each time.
Scanmap option
The previously saved scanmap can be loaded for use.
•
Use Threshold: Preview settings set in Microscope Controller Panel / Preview window are
applied to create a scanmap.
•
Loaded scanmap: 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.
