With this tool you can setup multiple tile regions by drawing different contours (rectangle, ellipse, polygon). The tile regions are generated automatically according to the size of your drawings.

If the sample height varies by a large amount, we recommend to add a focus correction method. For this, add the Focus Correction tool and select a focus correction method. This is applied during the acquisition of the tile image.
