Stage View feature
•
Crosshairs: The crosshairs are a visual aid that provides real-time information about the position of
the objective lens relative to the stage. The crosshairs can be seen on both the small vessel map in
the Stage View tab and the larger vessel map in the Find Target window. When the crosshairs are
within 4 units of the target in both the X and Y directions in the Find Target window, they change
color from amber to green. This change indicates that the crosshairs are close enough to the target
to typically have it within the field of view.
•
Pin: A precise stage location created by the user which can be re-located in either the same
imaging session or a dierent imaging session.
•
Pinhole: A precise location on a Stage View vessel holder which is used to set the stage origin
after powering on the instrument.
•
Pin map: A collection of pins corresponding to multiple areas of interest on a biological sample (for
example, in dierent wells of a microtiter plate, various locations on a histology tissue slide, in a 35
mm Petri dish, etc.).
