 Since microscopes are a critical instrument this section provides information on both microscope techniques and equipment.  There are already many good sites on microscope techniques so the focus will be more on discussing which ones are relevant for ICs and providing external links to provide more information. Since microscopes are a critical instrument this section provides information on both microscope techniques and equipment.  There are already many good sites on microscope techniques so the focus will be more on discussing which ones are relevant for ICs and providing external links to provide more information.

If you have an XY stage, you can take out the rotation parameter since it should be negligible. Follow the [[http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/scans/en.shtml|Hugin tutorial for stitching scanner images]].
