Sending Images to Autoscoring

If you have experiments that have been imaged using a visible light path prior to MARCO installation, you can send them to MARCO/Sherlock to get scored through the Send to MARCO button. In this section, you will learn how to send your visible images to MARCO/Sherlock.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed and enabled MARCO/Sherlock.

  • You are running ROCK MAKER version 3.18
