5.4 Stacking: X-Y-Z Scanning/Stacking
This mode is for focus-stacking large objects using three macro-rails. The X-axis is for focus
stacking, where the Y and Z-axis are intended for scanning across the surface being stacked.
This will allow you to stitch together focus-stacked images for a giga-pixel extended depth of
field image. The process is identical to X-Y scanning/stacking in the previous section 5.3 with
the addition of the Z-axis.
5.5 Stacking: X-R-Z Stack/Rotate/Move
This mode is a hybrid of X-Y scanning and X-stack / Y-rotate. It allows you to focus-stack and
rotate a large object using the Z-axis to move up and down creating slices of the object. The
process is as follows:
1. The X-axis completes a full stack.
2. The Y Axis rotates one step, and then returns to #1. If the Y-axis has completed its
full number of steps, then:
3. The Z-axis moves one step. It then returns to #1. If the Z-axis has completed its full
number of steps, the process is complete.
See section 5.2 and 5.3 for setting up the stack/rotate and scanning screens.
