Preview
For shorter exposures, you can use Preview to test different exposure times.
Click on the Preview button create a preview exposure and display it in the
acquisition window.
A preview scan takes only half as long to create as a real scan, because the
preview scan does not capture a “dark” image (see below). The progress of
the exposure will be displayed in the Exposure Status bar at the bottom of the
dialog box.
You cannot save preview scans.
If you want to stop a preview scan that is in progress, click on the Stop button.
9.5 Acquire the Image
The Fluor-S MAX gives you the option of simply acquiring and displaying a
fully exposed image, or preserving intermediate exposures.
Acquire
To acquire and display a fully exposed image, click on the Acquire button. An
exposure will be taken based on the time selected in Step III. This is
appropriate for most short exposures.
The progress of each exposure will be displayed in the Exposure Status bar at
the bottom of the acquisition window.
