To configure the acquisition settings
1. Click Select and choose an application from the menu. The applications appear
in submenus under each application type.
Choose Custom to save and run an existing application with a new name or to
create and run a new application. Previously saved custom applications display
here. To create a custom application, see Setting Up a Custom Application on
page 78 .
Tip: For a list that notes all required stains and light sources, as well as
any conversion screens or filters, see Table 4 , Table 5 , and Table 6 on
page 81 .
2. In Resolution, the default resolution value is 63.5 microns. If necessary, click
Change to change the resolution.
Resolution is a measure of pixel size in microns. The default value corresponds
to approximately 400 dpi (dots per inch) and generally provides sufficient
resolution to obtain a good quality image.
Tip: Decreasing the resolution value (decreasing the pixel size) increases
the number of pixels scanned and therefore increases the resolution. As a
result, the scan is slower because more rows are scanned, and the file size
is larger.
