1. Select the type of specimen holder (for instructions on changing to the X/Y stage holder see Hardware > Specimen Holders > > Installing the X/Y Style Holder).
...
3. Two polarization filter holders, one above the tray and one under it, are coupled by a magnetic linkage. The entire assembly can assembly can be rotated out of the way as needed. The filters can be rotated independently or together (the former by turning the polarizing the polarizing [bottom] filter while preventing the filter holder from rotating, the latter by turning the white linkage knob).
...
11. The preview window can be ignored/closed without affecting anything. If Adobe Bridge is already loaded, its icon will flash in the the taskbar (burnt-orange square with the letters "Br"). If Bridge is not already loaded, it will open automatically after a few moments.
12. No action needs to be taken in Bridge at this point. Close/minimize Bridge at any time. The camera automatically creates and saves the saves the JPEG and RAW files.
Processing and Uploading the Image
...
4. Once a sample has been selected, the sample text_id field populates and a new label is generated in the top right that indicates the the new filename, based on the sample selected. If multiple pictures were taken of the same sample, the filename is appended with _2, _3, _4, etc., based on the number of previous images taken and processed. Fill out the rest of the values based on the conditions conditions when the image was taken.
In the comments field, enter the description from the Thin Section Request form and the name of the requestor (e.g. "Fossiliferous limestone. Jane Doe.")
5. Click Upload to open a window indicating the upload status. 5. Click Upload to open a window indicating the upload status. When the upload process is finished another dialog box will appear appear indicating that the process is complete
...
6. Once uploaded, the selected image is removed from the pending uploads list and loaded into LIMS. Continue processing additional additional images.
7. After upload, the images are moved to the archive folder (at the same level as the capture folder). Under the archive folder are 3 3 subfolders:
- JPEG
- TIFF (tiffs are not generally created in the standard workflow)
- RAW
...
1. Rotate the camera height adjustment wheel to give at least 12 inches of clearance between the camera lens and the top filter filter assembly.
2. Lift the top filter assembly upward until it disengages from the stage plate under it. Keep the unit oriented in the normal position so filter so filter parts do not fall out.
3. Slide the specimen holder out and begin loosening the bolts holding in the slide rails on the right side. Remove the bottom two bolts and two bolts and loosen the tip bolt.
4. Rotate the right rail out of the way
