Note: If you deselect this checkbox, any images currently displayed will remain
auto-scaled. Click on the Transform button in the viewer and click on the
Reset button in the Transform window to undo auto-scaling.
Buttons for various viewing tools are included in the Multi-Channel Viewer.
Commands such as Zoom Box and Grab will change the display of all the
images in the viewer at once.
Note that if you open the Transform window, you can adjust the display of
each channel independently, by selecting the appropriate channel option
button in the Transform window. Similarly, the Plot Cross-section command
will report the intensity of each channel separately.
Exporting and Printing
You can export a 24-bit TIFF image of your merged view by clicking on the
Export button. This will open a version of the Export to TIFF dialog. Note that
you cannot export image data from the Multi-Channel Viewer—only the
current view of the image (designated as Publishing Mode in the Export
dialog). The colors in the viewer will be preserved in the exported TIFF
image.
You can also print a copy of your merged view to a color or grayscale printer
by clicking on the Print button.
12.5 Image Stack Tool
The Image Stack Tool allows you to scroll through a series of related gel
images layered on top of one another. Using this tool, you can easily compare
bands or other data objects that may appear, disappear, or change size in
different gels run under different conditions.
Note: Your images should be close to the same size with bands in the same
relative positions to use this tool. You can use the Crop tool to resize
images.
With all your images open, select Image Stack Tool from the View menu. The
Image Stack Tool window will open.
