Acquisition Settings - Camera - MIA Clipping

Use this dialog box to clip the edges of individual images to the nearest pixel in a MIA acquisition process.

Artifacts near the edge of the image, image distortions for example, can hinder the automatic assemble of the individual images. With the MIA Clipping function, you can cut off these artifacts near the edge of the image.
