Image Capture
To capture the image of the sample displayed in the viewing area, tap the Capture (Figure 4)
icon. The captured image will remain displayed on the screen (action mode will change from
Live to Gallery) and the image file will automatically be saved to the internal memory. Captured
images can be edited or used in multicolor image merges. For more details go to Capturing
Images for Multicolor Merge.
Gallery Mode
All captured images can be accessed in the Gallery mode. They are stored in image folders by
color: Brightfield, Blue, Green, or Red. Multicolor merges, created using the captured images,
are stored in the Merge folder.
The 16 GB internal memory can store approximately:
n
JPEG ~2,500 files
n
TIFF ~1,500 files
n
8-bit RAW ~400 files
n
12-bit RAW ~800 files
Note: Storing smaller numbers of images files (fewer than 1,000 JPEG files) will ensure rapid
functioning of the cell imager and will also lengthen the life span of the internal memory.
Viewing Captured Images
Controls for opening the individual folders are located in the control panel at the left side of the
screen (Figure 10). To open, tap a folder (Figure 9) and the most recently viewed image from
that folder will open. The viewing area will be black if a gallery folder is empty.
Images in every folder are organized according to the time of capture. To move to the next
image, swipe the viewing area to the right. Swiping the viewing area to the left opens the
previously captured image.
Fig. 9. Five image folders are accessible in Gallery mode. A, folder with brightfield images; B, folder with images
from the blue channel; C, folder with images from the green channel; D, folder with images from red channel; E, folder
with multicolor merged images.
