Comments

Typcally, scale bars in DigitalMicrograph are too small for images which will end up displayed in half column width (just over 8cm in journals). 36-48pt font size is probably about right, even though it may look a bit big when the image is displayed larger than half column width.

Updated in this version to include the option to add field of view size markers - either width or width and height.
