f. Though Find attempts to adjust settings for decent brightness/ contrast, you should fine-tune settings.
Click Palette button, then click on Range Indicator.
Collecting 8-bit (2
8
=256 gray levels) images, every
pixel will have a fluorescence intensity in the range of
0 (black) to 255 (white). With Range Indicator
selected, pixels with a value of 255 are shown in red
and those with a value of 0 are shown in blue, as in this
example. In general, settings are adjusted (as described
below) so that there are just a few, if any, red and blue
pixels (but at least close to having some red and blue
pixels, thus taking advantage of full dynamic range of
detectors).
It is sometimes necessary to retain more red pixels
than is ideal so that other, less intensely fluorescent
structures remain visible. Somewhat more abundant
blue pixels in background areas are often desirable for achieving a dark
background.
g. Numbers of red and blue pixels are adjusted for each channel
separately. With Channels selected, click button of channel you wish to
adjust,
then click Cont.[inuous] button.
Red pixels are primarily adjusted using
Detector Gain slider
(reducing Detector Gain will reduce numbers of
red pixels).
Blue pixels are primarily adjusted using
Amplifier Offset slider
(reducing Amplifier Offset will increase numbers of
