Picture Snap
The Picture Snap window allows the user to import any image from a slide or flatbed scanner and calibrate the image to the microprobe stage coordinates using any two diagonal points (or three points to correct for sample rotation) on the image so that the sample areas of interest can be located easily.
The current stage position location is shown as a target cursor on the calibrated picture and is updated continuously as the stage position is adjusted by the user. To move to any point on the image simply double click the image coordinate.
Use the Display menu to display the currently digitzed position samples. The Position Sample Labels menu will display the sample number alongside the plotted position.
Use the Save As GRD File menu to export the image data to a Surfer GRD format. If any sample labels are displayed the coordinates and labels will be exported to a .DAT file for using as a “post data” file in Surfer.
