How scanning works
Draft outline
Scaffold. Replace the bullet prompts with your own text and delete this banner when done.
Conceptual companion to the stitched scan and calibration how-tos.
From one frame to a whole slide
- Field of view vs. sample size; the stage tiles the sample under the objective.
Stitching
- Overlap; how tiles are aligned; why calibration (pixel size, rotation) matters.
Why calibration matters
- Pixel size → real distances; camera rotation → straight seams; backlash → position error.
Keeping focus over a large area
- Single-Z vs. autofocus vs. focus map; sample flatness/tilt.
TODO
Consider a generated diagram (like the CoreBox/HoloBox figures) showing tiling + stitching + focus surface. Link the calibration how-tos.
