To acquire a single Multi-channel image:

Use the Snapshot utility to quickly create a 2-D, multi-wavelength image without running a full experiment.

  1. From the Resolve3D window, choose File | Snapshot (or click the Snapshot icon) to open the Snapshot window.

  2. To deconvolve the image, select Deconvolve 2D Images. (This option does not perform advanced image restoration. Instead, it provides 2D image previews that closely resemble images processed with advanced 3D image restoration techniques.)

  3.  Enter the file name for your image and select the channels (filters) that you would like to use. (Snapshot uses the exposure conditions that were last used for those channels.)

    softWoRx adds the _R3D.dv extension to the file name. If you enter a file name without a directory path, the file will be saved in the current data folder. You can specify to save the file in another directory by including the path in the file name (e.g., /tmp/myfile).

  4. Click Do It.

    The data is saved in a DeltaVision file. The Image window opens and displays the new image.

Note:  Snapshot uses the settings saved in the current Data Folder for each channel. It does not use the file Auto-increment naming scheme.
