Where Is

Use Move>Where Is to find the current field of view relative to the entire tracing.

• Microlucida zooms out so that all parts of the tracing are visible and a dashed rectangle shows the current field of view. If the current field of view is very small, the box around it blinks.
• Live video and AutoMove are temporarily turned off. They are restored when you exit Where Is.
• All contours and neuronal processes are re-scaled, while the size at which markers display may not change.
• Imported or acquired images (bitmaps) are still visible.

To zoom in, hold down CTRL while dragging the mouse to draw a rectangle; the cursor changes to a magnifying glass.

To zoom out, right-click and select Zoom Out.

To return to the original view, click anywhere in the tracing window OR press the ESC key. Microlucida returns to whatever task was active before the Where Is was activated.
