When you are in edit mode in the Main, the default behavior is for trace information pop-ups to display when you hover the cursor on a traced structure, portion of a traced structure, or marker. Check the box to prevent information pop-ups from appearing unless you depress the Shift key when hovering on a tracing element.
Color: Objects are drawn using the colors that you select.
Monochrome: Use in conjunction with the monochrome Lucivid. It is possible to switch back to color for editing and visualization when using the computer monitor.
Some of the features displayed in the tracing window may be displayed slightly differently to make up for the information conveyed by the colors. For example, the exclusion and inclusion lines of the counting frame will be represented by white solid and dashed lines, instead of red and green lines, respectively.
Dim Monochrome: Use when the bright monochrome display overpowers your image. This is useful when using the Lucivid to trace very dim structures, such as weak fluorescent stains.
The Z deviation warning is intended to detect problems in tracing dendritic structures. Tracing branched structures involves many steps during which mistakes can introduce large jumps in Z. Since Z is the dimension going into and out of the screen it is not always clear that points are not close to each other in Z. The warning discriminant is a micron value. A warning is flagged if the difference of the Z coordinates of two sequential points exceeds this discriminant.
