Application Features |
LAS Reticule is an optional application that is combined with a Leica microscope, digital imaging camera and computer. Traditional methods of inserting a graticule disk etched with a square grid for meausurments (also known as an eyepiece micrometer) has many limitations which LAS Reticule strives to counteract. The electronic reticule is not only more cost-effective but also provides a more pleasurable working environment where the live microscope image is displayed on screen and an unlimited range of reticule styles can be overlayed. Additionally, reticules can be designed and applied quickly and easily, so the set can be extended as and when it’s necessary.
Reticule information can be saved either by producing it in overlay format or by burning it into the image. When the reticule is merged into the image, it means that it is permanent. Additionally, the image can be re-opened using another application with the reticule information embedded.
The system also provides an option to save the reticule as an overlay that can later be removed or altered. A copy of the reticule file will be made and stored with the image, so if the master reticule is subsequently altered the stored image and reticule remains unaltered. When the reticule is stored as an overlay, the image can be opened in another application, but the reticule information will not be present.
Other advantages include:
•Reticules can be fixed or scaleable for additional flexibility.
•Standard user and power user modes allow varying responsibilities.
•An unlimited number of different reticules can be used.
•Additional reticules can be applied on a stored image.
