You can acquire EDF (Extended Depth of Focus) images of the largest particle per type for your report. This is only possible, if you are in a workflow with image acquisition. If you work with loaded images, the cut out particle from the overview image are displayed in the report. Particle images from both sources are stored in the archive.

In the Position List with EDF workbench, in the position list, the corresponding particle coordinates are saved by default. These are provided from the size distribution results and are used to acquire the EDF images of the largest particles per type.

  1. You have defined the number of EDF images you want to display in the report, see the Particle Gallery (Report) tool in the Standard Specific Settings workbench, see Particle Gallery (Report) (Components/Oil/Lubricants) Tool.
    Note that you cannot change these settings in the Position List with EDF workbench.
  2. You have defined individual settings for your microscope hardware and camera in the Position List with EDF workbench, in the Light Path Editing tool, see Light Path Editing Tool. This configuration is applied automatically before the EDF acquisition starts.
  1. Run the workflow.
  2. The EDF image is automatically acquired in the Position List with EDF workbench, in the EDF (motorized focus) tool.
  3. The EDF images are displayed in the particle gallery of the report. For your information, the particle length, width and area are shown below the corresponding particle image; for fibers, in addition the fiber length.
  4. The EDF-images are saved in the archive in czi format and in addition as zipped file in png format. Their name has the following convention: Largest Particle Images-<loop number.>, e.g. Largest Particle Images-01.
  5. You find all images in Browse Results in the corresponding job result folder.
