Configuration Library
On this page you can find a collection of ROXAS configuration files. Use a configuration file whose thumbnail image resembles your own samples as a starting point for customizing your own configuration.
Instruction
- Download one to several configuration files (*.rsf) and copy-paste them into the configuration folder (in ROXAS main window, push 'Manage configuration files' to access the folder)
- Re-launch ROXAS. The added configuration(s) will appear in the configuration list in the ROXAS main window.
- Adjust the configuration file(s) of choice as described in the ROXAS Manual.
Note: Configurations are rather specific! They are usually optimized for all of the following: the anatomy of a given species, the plant organ, the sample processing and staining technique, the image capturing system (microscope, camera, scanner), and the image resolution.
Using configuration files with ROXAS
Any new version of ROXAS is able to use an old configuration file, however don't use a new configuration file with an older ROXAS version! As ROXAS is developing, new settings are added to the configuration files, which an older ROXAS version does not support.

If you defined a new configuration that works well on your samples and you want to see it on this page, please contact me!
