Question

What is the Predictive Stack focus method?

Answer

Predictive Stack is a new focus method that is offered starting in uScope Navigator v4.3 RC45.

This focus method combines the focus map created by the Predictive focus method with the short image stack of the Fast Stack focus method. The result is a focus method that combines better focus than the Predictive Focus method with better performance than the Exhaustive Stack focus method.

The Predictive Fast Stack focus method uses the settings from the Predictive focus method (for capturing prediction points) and settings from the Fast Stack focus method (for capturing fields based on the focus map).
