Viewing Data

Once you have loaded the data, adjusted its intensity, chosen an orientation and adjusted the magnification, you are ready to look at the data.

To advance forward through the images in the main viewer:
Press the "+" button on the control panel
Alternatively, from the "Slice" menu, select "Advance" or use the keyboard shortcut associated with the "Advance" item in the menu.
To move backwards through the images in the main viewer:
Press the "-" button on the control panel
Alternatively, from the "Slice" menu, select "Go Back" or use the keyboard shortcut associated with the "Go Back" item in the menu.
To go to a particular plane in the main viewer:
  1. Type the number of the plane in the box between the "-" and "+" buttons in the control panel
  2. Press "Enter" or "Return" on the keyboard while the cursor remains in the box

The orthogonal view windows are updated depending on the cursor position in the main window. You can alter the orthogonal views by placing the mouse on top of the image in the main window and moving it around. The orthogonal views correspond to the mouse position. If you have a reference image loaded, the orthogonal views will not update when the mouse cursor is over the reference image, only when it is over the main image.
