(17) To further improve image quality you can slow the scan rate allowing more photons to integrate
on the detector, or apply image averaging to remove random noise, or a combination of both.
These adjustments are made by clicking on the <Mode> button on the Scan Control menu. Set
the Scan Speed in the Speed area and Number in the Depth, Scan Direction & Scan Average
area accordingly by observing your image. The setting average of 8 (Number 8) should improve
signal/noise dramatically, however, the image acquisition rate will be slower.
(18) If your specimen is sensitive to photobleaching, you can attenuate the laser illumination by clicking
on the <Channels> button from the Scan Control menu. At the bottom of the menu you can set
the percentage of laser power (Excitation %) for each excitation wavelength. You will probably
have to inrease the Detector Gain if you decrease the laser power. This setting controls the
transmission degree of the AOTF.
(19) To save your image click on the <Save> or <Save As> button on the right side of the image.
