External Image Source Setup

An external image source refers to devices that Stereo Investigator is not configured to control (e.g., laser confocal microscope).

Use to inform Stereo Investigator that you will be loading images from an external image source while controlling the stage via Stereo Investigator.

The command allows you to enter image dimensions that will override the dimensions/settings associated with your system's configuration. This will allow Stereo Investigator to calculate the external image coordinates and scaling correctly.

Select Options>External Image Source Setup.
In the dialog box:
1. Check the Will load images from external source while controlling stage checkbox.
1. Enter the image dimensions in pixels.
Enable acquisition via the external image source:
- If Stereo Investigator is configured for a camera, select Use External Image Source.
- If Stereo Investigator does not control the stage, select Prepare for External Image Source.
Load your image.
