Although most imaging sessions are automated and executed according to the imaging schedule set in Rock Maker, it's possible to initiate an unscheduled imaging session from Rock Imager. This tutorial explains how.
Using the Search sub-tab of the Plates tab, locate the plate in the imager.
Once you locate your plate, you have several options. Click on the plate to highlight it and select from the options below. If you want to image more than one plate, press and hold the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting plates.
Note: All menu options are also available through right-click menus.
To image an entire plate with the default imaging settings, on the Imager menu, point to Image, click Plate, or click Plate Using to define a custom imaging setting.
To manually explore the contents of your plate, conduct a Manual Imaging session.
To image the current drop with the default imaging settings, on the Imager menu, point to Image, click Drop, or click Drop Using to define a custom imaging setting.
To image interesting drops, on the Imager menu, point to Image, click Interesting Drops.
To image interesting drops with a custom imaging setting, on the Imager menu, point to Image, click Interesting Drops Using.
When your plates have been imaged at least once, you can view and score your images in Rock Maker.
