Histogram
Press the Histogram button to access image histogram
adjustment. Use the pointers on the vertical slider bar to
make adjustments to this setting. Slide the top marker
down to darken the image, or slide the bottom marker up to
lighten the image.
Push the “Reset” button to reset the markers to the top and
bottom of the slider bar, showing the image’s full histogram
range.
Turn on Auto Adjust to automatically adjust the image
histogram for ideal imaging results.
Note: When a color image is present, the histogram menu
will show three separate slider bars, allowing histogram
settings for red, green and blue channels.
NOTE: Histogram settings also apply to the Gallery view,
discussed later in this manual.
Binning/Interpolation
Press the Binning/Interpolation button to access image
binning and interpolation adjustment options.
Binning is the process of combining multiple image pixels
into one larger pixel. For example, 2x2 binning combines a
two-by-two area of pixels (four pixels all together) into one
large pixel, 4x4 binning combines a four-by-four area of
pixels (sixteen pixels all together) into one large pixel, and
so forth. This process shortens the image preview and
capture process when increased sensitivity is needed, and
also aids the camera’s sensor in capturing and displaying
more image signal in low-light situations (such as in
chemiluminescence applications). The disadvantage of
binning is an overall reduction of resolution, as the
effective image pixel area is exponentially reduced as
binning is increased.
Select a higher Preview Binning to increase the preview
frame rate and make sample previewing faster. Preview
binning will not affect the captured image. (Note: Preview
binning is only available on chemi-capable systems.)
Select a higher Capture Binning to decrease image
capture time or to acquire more image signal in the same
amount of time, especially in low light situations. Note that
increased capture binning will decrease the overall pixel
resolution of the captured image. (Note: Capture binning is
set to 1x1, thus no binning, by default.)
Depending upon system model, image Interpolation
settings may also be found in the Capture Binning
dropdown menu. By utilizing advanced algorithms
integrated into the TS2 software, Interpolation effectively
increases an image’s resolution beyond the camera’s
native resolution. To activate image interpolation, select
the desired interpolated resolution from the Capture
Binning dropdown menu.
