Exporting and Printing
You can export a 24-bit TIFF image of your merged view by
clicking on the Export button. This will open a version of the
Export to TIFF dialog. Note that you cannot export image data
from the Multi-channel Viewer—only the current view of the image (designated as
Publishing Mode in the Export dialog). The colors in the viewer will be preserved in
the exported TIFF image.
You can also print a copy of your merged view to a color or grayscale printer by
clicking on the Print button.
3.11 3D Viewer
The 3D Viewer tool allows you to see a three-dimensional rendering of a portion of
your image. This is important for such instances as determining whether a selected
spot is actually two or more separate spots.
To see a 3D rendering of a portion of your image, select 3D Viewer from the View
menu. Your curser turns into a crosshair. Click and drag your curser over the image
area you would like to view creating a box.
Note: viewing a large area of your image may reduce performance.
• To reposition the box, position your cursor at the center of the box. The cursor
appearance will change to a multidirectional arrow symbol. You can then drag
the box to a new position.
• To resize the box, position your cursor on a box corner. The cursor appearance
will change to a bi-directional arrow. You can then drag that corner in or out,
resizing the box.
• To redraw the box selection, position your cursor outside the box and click once.
The box disappears, and you can then draw a new box.
To view the selected area, position your cursor inside the box slightly off-center. The
cursor appearance will change to an arrow. Click once to open the 3D viewer.
