Example Workflow Acquisition and Processing
This example workflow shows a generic combination of image acquisition, the application of a processing operation (e.g. enhance contrast), and a measurement, like a distance between two objects. This workflow is meant to be a template and a starting point for you to build your own workflows and tailor them to your needs.
Multi-Dimensional Acquisition
This step allows you to set up a flexible acquisition with different acquisition dimensions, see Multi-Dimensional Acquisition Step.
- Use the Channels tool to define the settings for your channels.
- Channels are defined.
- If necessary, add more tools to further define your acquisition, including stage, focus, tiles, and z-stack specifications.
- The acquisition is defined.
- Click Start.
- The acquisitions starts.
- After the acquisition is finished, the image is displayed in the Workflow container of the Center Screen Area.
Image Processing: Enhance Contours
This step enables you to directly process the image, see Image Processing Step.
- In the Enhance Contour tool, adapt the parameters to enhance the contours of your image, see Enhance Contour.
- The image is processed accordingly.
Interactive Measurements
this step enables you to measure distances, angles, area, and intensities of pixels in your image, see Interactive Measurements Step.
- Add a tool and use it to conduct your measurement.
- You have measured a feature of your image.
Save Results
After running through the workflow, you can save your results, see Save Results Step. When you run your workflow automatically and have not set a pause marker for this step, the results are saved and opened in ZEN. You have the following options:
- Save Results & Open in ZEN
- Save Results & Open File Explorer
- Save Results
- Discard Results
