Slide scanning settings

Use this window to adjust the scanning settings for the image tiles that will constitute the virtual slide.

Procedure

  1. Click Acquire>slide scan.
  2. In the Slide scanning setup window, adjust the settings as needed (settings are described below) and click OK.
  3. Save the image in the desired location as prompted; name the image and select the file type from the drop-down menu:
    • 2D: .jp2 (JPEG2000 or MBF JPEG2000) or .tif (TIFF)
    • 3D: .jpx (JPEG2000 or MBF JPEG2000)
    • The MBF JPEG2000 format retains additional information about the image unique to the system setup (pixel scaling, raw image data, application version, etc.). It is useful for troubleshooting but may not open in some third-party applications.

  4. Set up a focus map.
