Whole tissue scan help

Reducing scan time

Can we somehow build into the algorithm to stop scanning in a particular axis(x/y) and move on to next axis- if “n” number of steps return “k” values(pixels) repeatedly. This will help in avoiding unnecessarily scanning blank areas and thereby reducing scan time as most of the tissue we encounter are contiguous in nature .However, this provision should be made optional as some sample may have blank areas in between.

I think I had raised the same issue before also…and had suggested skipping “n” number of contiguous steps having a predefined pixel values.

This would preserve the autofocus range as well as reduce the scan time
