CHAPTER 1 - SYSTEM OPERATIONLSM 880 Left Tool Area and Hardware Control Tools ZEISS10/2014 V_01 000000-2071-464 3215.4.12 Processing – HDR-imagingLicensing Instrumentstandard optional LSM ELYRA Lightsheet Z.1Tool accepts image data recorded with the optional feature "HDR" of the acquisitiontool Acquisition Mode. In addition, input acquired either without using the feature"HDR" or on instruments other than LSM systems is potentially suitable for thisprocessing tool as well (provided the input meets the requirements for HDR-imaging).See full description of tool for details.Please see also the description of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) function (part of the Acquisition Modetool) for details on HDR image recording with LSM systems.HDR creates an image with a depth of 32-bit and therefore covers a far broader dynamic range thanconventional images (8 to 16 bit).As a result of the HDR process, the grey scale is independent from the initial bit depth, but covers a rangefrom 0-1.Also, the grey stepping is much finer, with much better visibility of weak structures (Fig. 426).The HDR method employed is also shown in the image info (Fig. 425).Fig. 425 Image info of a HDR image
