If you have configured your experiment in ZEN (e.g. a multi-channel experiment), the next step is to create and select a sample. When you work with the software for the first time you, have to create a new sample first.

  1. You are in the Correlative Array Tomography tool.
  1. Click on Select/Specify.
  2. The Select Sample dialog opens.
  3. Click on the Add button under the List of specified samples.
  4. The New Sample dialog opens.
  5. Enter the necessary sample information: Name, Description, Number of sample carriers, Type of sample carrier and Section thickness.
  6. Click on OK.
  7. The dialog closes. You will see the new sample in the List of specified samples.
  8. Select the new sample from the list and click on OK.
  1. You have created and selected a new sample.

Note that specifying the correct number of sample carriers is important for the numbering of the ribbons/sections afterwards. The sample information will be stored within the image data and will be used for further image processing and data management.
