View images

There are three methods:

• Scroll the mouse wheel.
• Click the Magnifier +/_ icons.
• Click the Zoom icon then use the marquee or a zoom level.
  • Click the Marquee icon then drag the mouse to draw a marquee around the area to zoom in (available for images larger than 2000x2000 px).
  • Click one of the Zoom level icons.

There are three possible methods:

• In the Macro View window, click in the area that you want to view.
• Use the arrow keys to move up, down, and sideways.
• Drag the image until you reach the area that you want to view.

To adjust the panning speed, see Movement Resolution.

There are two methods:

• Drag the slider.
• Use the PageUp|PageDown keys.

To adjust the focusing speed, see Movement Resolution or the Focusing through an image stack seems slow article.

To focus faster at high resolution, see Using Pre-load current view for fast-focusing.

To adjust the refresh rate of the views in Macro View, see MacroView stack loading interval in Macro View.

Click the Grid View button ; up to 4 images appear side-by-side and the browser window is un-docked.

NOTE: Slides are independent by default; panning and zooming only apply to the current image. To apply panning or zooming to multiple images simultaneously, use the synchronization tool (only available in Grid view).

How do I synchronize images?

• To synchronize all open images, click the Synchronize all images icon in the main toolbar.
• To synchronize specific images, click the Synchronize images icon in the Image toolbar.
• To disable synchronization, click the Cancel synchronize icon.

Why should I use synchronization?

It is useful to compare images—for example, a before and an after image of the same sample. You can link the images so that any panning or zooming is applied to both images.
