Pannoramic SCAN II 2.2.0 User’s Guide 4.2 Main window functions
Note:
MRXS to MRXS conversion will result in an overlap-free final image (tile
fitting is performed without overlapping).
• Tiled-TIFF settings
◦ Click Reset to set everything to default
◦ Zero based index in names: Z-Stack layers of the generated TIFF files will be
indexed starting with 0, and the focus distance of the actual layer will not be
included (inactive by default)
◦ Display FL channels RGB-colorized: a 24-/48-bit color TIFF image is
generated based on the FL channels. File size is bigger, but most of the image
viewers are capable to open it. An 8-/16-bit grayscale TIFF image will be
generated if not selected. File size is smaller, but some of the viewers cannot
handle it.
◦ TIFF type
▪ Automatic: the converter automatically selects the most appropriate
method based on the size of the source slide
▪ Force simple tiff: TIFF files use 32-bit offset addressing, therefore file size
is limited to a maximum of 4Gb.
▪ Force big tiff: Big TIFF files use 64-bit offset addressing allowing the
creation of bigger TIFF files.
◦ Compression type
▪ Jpeg (8-bit): compression rate can be set (1-100, default: 80)
▪ Lossless compression 8-bit
▪ Lossless compression native: color depth of the source slide is inherited
(16-bit is supported)
▪ Uncompressed 8-bit
▪ Uncompressed native: color depth of the source slide is inherited (16-
bit is supported)
