Switch

Changes between the branches.

  1. Size Distribution Live & EDF/Position List branch is selected.
  1. Select the branch according to the operator's needs.
    You have the following options:
    With Height Measurement
    Without Height Measurement

For information on the branch switches, see Configuring the TCA Job Template by Switching the Active Branch.

Interactive Height Measurement

Only visible with active branch With Height Measurement.

Enables to perform interactive height measurements.

To perform the interactive particle height measurement conduct manual focusing as described:

  1. Manually define the z-position at the membrane filter beside the selected particle as lowest position.
  2. Manually define the z-position at the top of the particle as highest position.
  1. The absolute difference between both z-values is the determined particle height.

See Interactive Particle Height Measurement Tool.

Position List with EDF

If zero particles are found, for example, in a blank test, this step is skipped.

An EDF image is created.

Acquires automatically an EDF image of the largest particle per type for the particle gallery in the report. The corresponding particle coordinates are saved by default in the Position List tool. The displayed number of particles per type cannot be modified in the EDF step. Note: The total number of particles per type is defined in the Standard Specific Settings workbench in the Particle Gallery (Report) (Components) tool.

Define the initial microscope and camera setting. Adjust the step size for the automated EDF acquisition.

See:

  • Light Path Editing Tool
  • EDF Setup (motorized focus) Tool
  • Extended Camera Tool
  • Position List Tool
  • Select Active Camera

Reset Device Parameters

Changes the microscope hardware and camera settings. Restores the initial microscope and camera settings as defined in the Tiles (measurement area) workbench.

No further action required.

Split EDF Image

Splits the image scene into n images.

Default: Run silent

We recommend not to change the default parameters.

See Split by Dimension Tool.
