10.6 Image resolution
Click Camera and then AxioCamHR in the Work area menu. Choose FRAME tab. There is a list of
available camera resolutions for acquisition. Note that there are four options available for color
images: BIN, STANDARD, SCANNED and HIGH SPEED. STANDARD COLOR is faster to take
but SCANNED COLOR offers softer image quality, by removing noise. The HIGH SPEED modes
produce more noise, but they also retain any sharp edges the objects may have. When using BIN
resolutions, the pixel values are combined to create higher intensity values. For example a 2x2
binning will sum four neighboring pixels in to one. The resolution will halve, but the intensities are
four times higher.
The resolutions greater than 1300x1030 are produced by microscanning, where the sensor chip is
moved slightly between images and the resulting image is interpolated from multiple different
images. Both the image resolution and acquisition time increase.
With FRAME options you can also select only a part of the image to be acquired. The selection is
done with the configuration under resolution settings.
10.7 Display properties
Axiocam-camera detects 16384 intensity levels of each color channel. However, computer displays
typically can display only 128 to 256 levels. The way how 16384 levels are mapped to the display
can be adjusted. Click the image with right mouse button and choose PROPERTIES (or press
ALT+ENTER). Then choose DISPLAY tab. Colored curves show the distribution of signal on
different color channels of an RGB image. The black curve describes how intensity levels are
shown on display. The curve can be modified by sliders or by mouse. There are buttons for
predefined adjustments:
BestFit shows the whole range excluding specified percentage of actual minimum and actual
maximum values
Min/Max shows the whole range from minimum intensity to maximum
Linear shows linearly the whole dynamic range of the camera
With SAVE and RESTORE –buttons it is possible to apply the same settings to other images.
