Most times, when using FCS Express, and you want to export your analysis, you can choose to export it directly to PowerPoint, to a PDF file, or even to Excel. However, when preparing for a publication, you will often need to transfer a high-resolution image of a single plot into a document. For example, if you are writing a report about your experiment in Microsoft™ Word, you may want to place some diagrams showing your analysis.  

FCS Express makes it easy to do this, by featuring beautiful, publication-quality graphics, using the Copy As Picture function. 

First, you can use the Preferences to choose what you want the export format to be:  JPEG, Bitmap, or Metafile. You can also decide what quality you want the picture to be, by changing the resolution and the JPEG quality setting.

Transferring to Microsoft Word

Let's say that we want to transfer the plot on the right into a Word document.

Simply click on the plot, and select Copy as Picture from the Edit menu. Switch to your word processor or graphics application where you want to place the image, and Paste it in. Below is the resulting Word document, after pasting in the plot.

High-quality graphics

Click on the plot on the right to download a high-resolution picture of the plot, exported from FCS Express as a JPEG at a resolution of 400 x 400.
