Purpose

Acquire Image acquires a single-channel image using the camera's current field of view

Procedure

1. Click Live Image on the Acquire ribbon.

   This puts Microlucida in Live-Image mode, meaning that the view from the microscope camera is displayed onscreen.

2. Click Acquire image; the following will happen:

   • Microlucida displays the image you've just acquired onscreen (Show Images mode).

   • The image you just acquired has been added to the Image Organizer as an unsaved image.

   • If Background Correction is enabled, background correction will be applied to the image.

   The coordinates of the image relative to the reference point are saved in the data file.

3. To acquire another image, repeat the steps: Click Live Image, then click Acquire image.
