Image Mosaic – This allows an image mosaic to be collected. The software can automatically
detect the location of overlaps. It works best with 20-30% overlap. Use the dual viewer when
taking images to monitor the overlap between images.
Form – all image data (metadata) is displayed here. This information is saved as a separate text
file with the image.
Record Details – Full microscope data associated with image (extended version of form data)

To Do (6/2012)
• Currently running LAS 4.2.
• New camera driver for DFC500 may be released soon (according to Phoebe Tsellos,
11/2012). This might address some of the issues with the i5 CPU being recognized by the
LAS software installed on these types of computers (alternatively, need a firmware update
for the computer).
• If camera problems persist, consider getting a new FireWire cable, as currently have an A
(camera) to B (computer) connection. A connection of A to A would work better, though also
depends on the metal alloy used in the cable. Should check with current Leica representative
(Shawn Hussey) before doing this.
