K-4

Enabled channels are imaged sequentially. The separate scans are displayed and saved
as separate images. The total imaging time depends on the number and type of
enabled applications.

If you have selected Auto Save After Scan, the image created using Channel 1 will
have the base file name, and images created using subsequent channels will have the
base file name plus a version number. (v. 2, v. 3, v. 4). Note that the image version
number does not necessarily correspond to the channel number. For example, if you
captured an image using only Channels 1 and 4, the image created using Channel 4
will be saved as version 2 (v. 2).

K.2.b. Selecting an Application

To select an application (i.e., the appropriate filter and illumination source for the type
of object you are imaging), click on the Select button under a channel tab.

Standard Applications

The standard applications and associated settings are listed in a tree that expands from
left to right. When you select an application, the software automatically sets the
appropriate filter in the VersaDoc for that particular application.

First select your general application, then select the particular stain or medium you
are using. When you select the stain or medium, the software automatically sets the
appropriate filter (520LP, 530DF60, 610LP, clear, or none), light type (UV, white, or
none), and light source (Trans, Epi, or neither) in the VersaDoc for that particular
application.
