The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA consists of several accelerator stages, the last one being a stretcher ring providing a beam of polarized electrons with an energy of up to 3.5~GeV. In order to guarantee a high duty cycle, a slow extraction via a third integer resonance is applied to the stretcher ring. The emittance of the extracted beam as well as the efficiency of the extraction process depend on different parameters as the sextupole strength being necessary for the excitation of the third integer resonance or the adjusted tune. In order to optimize the quality of the extracted beam, an accurate comprehension of the influence of these parameters is indispensable. Beam profiles are detected using dedicated synchrotron light monitors optimized for low intensities. The emittance was investigated by the method of quadrupole scan. The experimental studies are accompanied by numerical simulation studies. The results of the change of the emittance depending on different resonance extraction setups obtained by the experimental as well as by the theoretical studies will be presented.
