We strongly recommend that the user read through the tutorials. They provide a basic introduction to MaxIm DL operations, including things that may not be entirely obvious to a new user at first glance.
The sample images used are available in C:\Program Files\Diffraction Limited\MaxIm DL 6\Samples on 32-bit machines, and C:\Program Files (x86)\Diffraction Limited\MaxIm DL 6\Samples on 64-bit machines.
