Leica Laser Microdisector (LMD) XML Export​

To export Visiopharm ROIs in Leica LMD XML format, ensure you have at least three calibration points. These you specify by using Visiopharm Text Annotations placed in three well-distributed and easily recognizable image locations. Have the text for the calibration spots being Calibration 1, Calibration 2, ..., as shown in the example image below.

Example of the three calibration points in the image.

The export will save all non-clear ROI objects on the overlay after performing a morphological closing, followed by a simplification using one-fifth of the closing diameter. The default closing diameter is 50 μm, but this can be adjusted in Registry Editor under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Visiopharm\VPSDK' as shown below.

To see which object was written to the LMD xml you can pass those back as annotations to the Visiopharm overlay by enabling the option Pass Back LMD Objects in Registry Editor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Visiopharm\VPSDK.
