Project / Layers

The ZEN Connect tool provides a Layers view and a Tree view of image data that you have acquired for the ZEN Connect project. Every image that you have acquired for the ZEN Connect project is listed. As you acquire or import more image data, the new image data will be listed in the views.

Change Opacity

Adjusts the opacity of detected objects.

Align

Activates the alignment process for the selected data, see Activating the Alignment Process.

Align System

Activates the alignment process for the current microscope session, see Activating the Alignment Process.

New Session

Creates a new session.

Context Menu

Displays the context menu for ZEN Connect, see Context Menu.

Tree View tool

For more information, see ZEN Connect Tool.

Color Style

Controls the color format of the export. Select RGB (color) or Intensity (black and white).

–

RGB Color

Based on the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color model. Be aware that color files may be up to three times as large as intensity files.

–

Intensity

Images are saved in 8-bit format.

Export Format

Selects the format for the exported file.

–

CZI image (Single Channel)

Exports the image as a Carl Zeiss Image file. CZI files are not limited in size. The images are exported in a single channel CZI.

–

CZI image (Multi-Channel)

Exports the image as a Carl Zeiss Image file. CZI files are not limited in size. The images are exported as a multi-channel CZI.

Note that the resulting image might look different when reopened in ZEN than it does in ZEN Connect.

Burn in Data Bar

Activated: Burns the currently configured data bar into the exported image.

Rotation

Rotates the view to the desired orientation. Drag the slider, or in the text field, type in the value.

Pixel Size

Sets the pixel size of the export. The smaller the pixel size, the more disk space your export will take. The options Low, Medium and High only have an effect, if several images are exported as a single image.

–

Smallest

Sets pixel size of the finest image, i.e. the smallest pixel size.

–

Medium

Calculates and sets the pixel size to the log average of finest and coarsest image (i.e. 10^(0.5*(log(fine)+log(coarse)).

–

Largest

Sets pixel size of the coarsest image, i.e. the largest pixel size.

–

Custom

Sets a custom pixel size which can be entered in the input field.

Width (px)

Sets the width to directly alter the export pixel count and export area (the pixel size is unchanged).

Height (px)

Sets the height to directly alter the export pixel count and export area (the pixel size is unchanged).

Width (µm)

Displays the full width of the export area in µm.

Height (µm)

Displays the full height of the export area in µm.

Approx. Data Size

Displays an approximation for the data size of the exported image. The actual file size after export may be less, depending on compression of some file formats.
