With this tool you can manually setup a tile region wether by entering the number of tiles (e.g. 3 x 3) or size of the tile region (e.g. 4000µm x 4000µm). The individual images (single tiles) are acquired and then stitched together to create the final tile image.

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.
