GS-710 Imaging Densitometer

6-9

Specifying Your Own Resolution

If you select Oversample under More Options (see section 6.7, Other Options,

for details), you can specify your own resolution within the range of 43–169

microns (micrometers). With Oversample selected, enter values directly in the

ﬁelds next to X resolution and Y resolution in the main acquisition window.

Fig. 6-8. Entering a custom resolution (with Oversample selected).

Image File Size

Image File Size (under Select Resolution) shows the size of the scan ﬁle you

are about to create. If you do not have enough computer memory for the

speciﬁed ﬁle size, an error message will appear when you attempt to scan. If

this happens, select a lower resolution or decrease the size of the area to be

scanned. (Macintosh users can also increase the application memory

partition. See your Macintosh computer documentation for guidance.)

6.5 Calibration

Images scanned using the GS-710 are automatically calibrated. The scanner

plate has a built-in calibration overlay for both transmissive and reﬂective

scanning.

• The transmissive calibration strip calibrates the densitometer from 0 to

3.0 O.D.

• The reﬂective calibration strip calibrates the densitometer to 2.0 O.D.
