The tiles acquisition workbenches enable you to acquire an image of a large sample area. You define the area to be acquired and the system then acquires the corresponding tiles (images of neighboring sample areas) automatically and assemble them to a large image.

1. The Tiles (manual) or Tiles (interactive) workbench is selected.
2. The sample is sufficiently illuminated and in focus.
3. The microscope is equipped with a motorized stage.

1. Set up the camera using the Camera tool.
2. Select the objective in the Magnification tool.
3. Define and create the region of which you wish to acquire the tile image using the Tiles Setup (manual) or Tiles Setup (interactive) tool.
4. The Center Screen Area displays the area you wish to acquire and a preview of the tiles to be acquired, including overlap.
4. Set up the stitching method to be applied after acquisition using the Tile Stitching tool.
5. Add the Focus Correction tool to apply a supporting method for focusing such as Software Autofocus or Focus Support Points / Focus Surface.
6. In the Workbench Area, click the Start button.

The software acquires the tiles and stitches (merging the individual images together) the tile image automatically.
