Chapter 6 – Image Display and Navigation
Image Display and Navigation
The software interface features a special window, the Viewport, to display up to 16 images. Raw
images usually need a little touching up in the display to look appealing; contrast, brightness and
color can be adjusted. Images series created in multi-dimensional experiment may contain dozens
or even hundreds of individual images taken at different points in time, different Z-positions or with
different excitation wavelengths. Such data sets require tools for navigation and animation. All this is
explained in the following sections.
