Image Processing Tab

The image processing tab covers the Deconvolution configuration and processing options.

Deconvolution is a powerful, optional module of Fusion allowing the processing of images either post-acquisition or during Protocol intervals. See also Protocol Manager tab. If a compatible GPU (Graphics Processing Unit / graphics card) is present, this will be performed extremely rapidly.

Deconvolution

 See the Performing Deconvolution section for details on all of the settings shown here.

Stitching

Stitching Mode

High Speed - this is the fastest method and will place images together based on their coordinates from the XY stage.

High Quality - this method is slower but will examine the images for similar features and match neighbouring positions together much more precisely.

Select channel for stitching

Auto - The first channel in the image will be used for stitching.

User defined - If there is more than 1 channel in the image, you can use this option to specify which channel should be used for stitching. You will be prompted to select a channel after clicking the Stitch button.

Note: The Stitch button will only be enabled if the currently displayed image is a montage or multifield image that can be stitched.

Once started, stitching progress is shown and can be cancelled by pressing the square "stop" button to the right of the "Stitch" / "Stitching" button.

Troubleshooting

If the resulting image does not look correct (for example, the overlap or the rotation of some / all images is incorrect, please check the F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions).
