❑ Run Statistics—Displays detailed statistics about each scan area. For more
information, see “Displaying Run Statistics” on page 4-16.
❑ Field Image—Opens the Scan Field Image window (formerly Scan Data display),
which allows you to control and monitor the scanning of your specimen. When no
other active document is open, this window is titled Scan Field Image.
❑ Well Image—Opens the Well Image window. A Well image is a mosaic of all
scan fields for a given scan area.
❑ Region Image—Opens an image of the scan fields contained in a specified
region. (This feature is available only with the iNovator toolkit.)
❑ Refresh—Repaints all of the open windows on the iCys Workspace. This can be
useful when you are adjusting various iCys parameters. If Auto Refresh is
checked, Refresh is not available.
❑ Auto Refresh—Automatically repaints open windows in the iCys Workspace
when adjustments are made to iCys parameters.
This feature is available only with the iNovator toolkit.
❑ Home Stage—Moves the microscope stage to its home position.
❑ Home Objective—Moves the microscope objective to its home position.
❑ Load Carrier—Moves the microscope stage to the appropriate position for
loading a carrier.
❑ Brightfield—Clears the path from the brightfield lamp to the condenser, allowing
the brightfield source to illuminate the sample.
Note: When Brightfield is selected, the Scatter sensor is moved out of the way,
and is unavailable.
❑ Oscilloscope—Opens the Oscilloscope window. This allows you to view a
representation of the scan outputs. The oscilloscope feature is described in detail
in “Using the Oscilloscope Feature” on page 3-90.
