Hi, this is the user from UCL.
We are using the zen 2.3 pro software. When I trying to use tiles function, the images acquired but them were displayed in the wrong order. The one should be on the bottom right, appeared on the top right. Is it due to the stage settings or the way this application merge the images?

Why isn’t a simple question like – Is there a user guide for Zen Blue 3.1 – deferred to a ‘local’ office / contact? This doesn’t make sense. I have spent hours trying to find an updated guide for the Image Analysis Module and the best I am getting is something from 2016, which is pre 2.6. Frustrating.

The histogram provided by the ZEN 2.3 lite reports intensity of the fluorescence or the number of color pixels of the image?In the case of intensity, what do the values mean?
Good afternoon,
I have a 3D z-stack file (from SIM micropscope) and I would like to make a movie from ortho view and it should play either x or y positions. I already tried export as movie but in the video, it only plays z positions. Is there an option to create a video with ortho view while playing x or y positions?
