ZEN Connect Single Image Export Wizard

Color Style

Controls the color format of the export. Select RGB (color) or Intensity (black and white).

-

RGB Color

Based on the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color model. Be aware that color files may be up to three times as large as intensity files.

-

Intensity

Images are saved in 8-bit format.

Export Format

Selects the format for the exported file. Only the file formats that support the number of pixels you are exporting will be shown. If your export is too large, formats like BMP, JPG and TIFF are not displayed. If you wish to export to one of these formats, you must pick a larger pixel size, or smaller export area for your export.

-

Raw Image

Exports the image as a raw binary dump of the pixel values. An XML file is also written detailing the image width and height in pixels, the pixel size in microns, the bits per sample and samples per pixel. Raw files are not limited in size.

-

CZI Image (Single Channel)

Exports the image as a Carl Zeiss Image file. CZI files are not limited in size. The images are exported in a single channel CZI.

-

CZI Image (Multi-Channel)

Exports the image as a Carl Zeiss Image file. CZI files are not limited in size. The images are exported as a multi-channel CZI.

Note that the resulting image might look different when reopened in ZEN than it does in ZEN Connect.

-

Tif Image

Exports the image as a standard TIFF file. TIFF files are limited in size.

-

Tif Tiles

With this option, the export is in TIFF format, but broken into 2K x 2K tiles saved as individual TIFFs. An XML file is written listing the file names of the tiles and their positions. This export option is unlimited in size, but designed for someone who is writing scripts to import the data into image processing applications or similar.

-

Bitmap Image

Exports the image as a standard Windows Bitmap. Bitmap files are limited in size.

-

Jpg Image

Exports the image as a standard JPEG file. JPEG files are limited in size.

Burn-in Data Bar

Activated: Burns the currently configured data bar into the exported image.

Show Region Caption

Controls if image names and frames are shown in the exported image.

JpgXr Compression Quality

Activated: Uses the (lossy) JpgXr compression of the image during export and sets the quality for the compressed image with the input field.

Rotation

Rotates the view to the desired orientation. Drag the slider, or in the text field, type in the value.

Pixel Size

Sets the pixel size of the export. The smaller the pixel size, the more disk space your export will take. The options Low, Medium and High only have an effect, if several images are exported as a single image.

-

Smallest

Sets pixel size of the coarsest image, i.e. the smallest pixel size.

-

Medium

Calculates and sets the pixel size to the log average of finest and coarsest image (i.e. 10^(0.5*(log(fine)+log(coarse)).

-

Largest

Sets pixel size of the finest image, i.e. the largest pixel size.

-

Custom

Sets a custom pixel size which can be entered in the input field.

Width (px)

Sets the width to directly alter the export pixel count and export area (the pixel size is unchanged).

Height (px)

Sets the height to directly alter the export pixel count and export area (the pixel size is unchanged).

Width (µm)

Displays the full width of the export area in µm.

Height (µm)

Displays the full height of the export area in µm.

Approx. Data Size

Displays an approximation for the data size of the exported image. The actual file size after export may be less, depending on compression of some file formats.

Export Data

Opens a file browser to export the image with your settings.

Finish

Saves the changes and closes the wizard.

Cancel

Closes the wizard without saving the changes.
