Scan Settings
• Interpolated focus distance – the distance of focal points can be set to create a focus map,
based on which the software calculates interpolated focus values (one step in distance
means one FOV).
• Use Stitching function enables the seamless stitching of digital tiles.
Brightfield Compensation
The Use saved compensation image function enables to use previously recorded reference
images for all slides. Use this function when the slide is completely covered by the specimen
(for example, blood smear) thereby making compensation image capture impossible. For
such slides, use an empty slide with coverslip to grab a compensation image (for more
information, see section 4.2.2. Image Compensation / Brightfield). If you select this option,
the software will not create new compensation images for each slide. Compensation images
are reference images used for white balancing and shading.
The Scanned slide destination field determines where to digitize the virtual slides.
• To be able to choose the Scan To CaseCenter function, you have to install the ScanToServer
application.
For information on how to install and use the ScanToServer application, see section 4. 7
Scan to Server.
• If you enable the Directory function, the virtual slides will be digitized in the specified
folder. You can browse for the folder with the Browse button. If you specify a folder that
does not exist, the software will create it.
All parameter inputs are saved for the next software session.
