Acquisition Options controls things such as the scan length, scan origin (depending on which motor you are scanning on), averaging, signal over sampling HDR, and true color. The most common reason for dropped pixels in an image is incorrect scan length and/or scan origin. The following sections cover more detail.

  • 7.1: Scan Length and Scan Origin
  • 7.2: Averages, Auto Focus, and Auto Tilt
  • 7.3: Signal oversampling, High Dynamic Range, and True Color
