Saving tissue outlines

Post by Mohammad Naser »

Is there any way to save the outlines of multiple slides automatically in AxioScan.Z1? Note, we have recently updated to Zen 3.1 with Hotfix #7.

Hello Mohammad Naser,

this is not so easy to answer.

I'm trying to get am image that has tissue recognition form the AxioScan team.
After investigation you will get a reply if there is a way to read the outlines by OAD, which means with a macro.

There is no 'autosave checkbox' for this task in the GUI. Therefore just a manual export is possible.
From my point of view the only way is to check if a macro could do the job.

Hello Mohammad Naser,

if 'Keep separate peview image file after finish' is activated in Tools/Options/Acquisition/AxioScan then an image with the tissue polygones is saved.

You can access these images in a macro and read the 'Graphics' elements.

Finally it is possible to get the points of the graphical elements. This list of points like x1;y1 , x2;y2 , etc. can be saved in a file.

Is this a solution for what you intend to do?
