Note

You can set capturing to *.tif series by setting the ND_UseTIFF parameter to 1, and capturing to a single *.nd2 file by setting it to 0.

Select which dimension(s) will form the basis of the Multi-page TIFF file. For example if you choose t+z, all exported TIFF files will have both time and Z dimensions. Dimension combo boxes are used to sort the remaining dimensions to define the file naming of all exported images. The number of exported multi-page TIFF files can be calculated as multiplication of all dimensions except those selected in the Multi-page combo box.

Example 9. 

Our nd2 file has 10 timelapse frames, 3 multi-points and 5 Z slices. We want to create multi-page TIFF files having only a Z stack dimension. Thus we select z from the Multi-page combo box. To define the file naming we can adjust the dimension order in the Dimension combo box. After clicking Export, the remaining dimensions (t and XY) are automatically incorporated into our 30 (10x3) new Z-stack TIFF files.

0	none

16	xy
256	z
17	t+xy
257	t+z
272	xy+z
273	t+xy+z
