Microscopy

ROI

Region of interest, usually an anatomical or analysis area measured in images. See also: ROI parameters.

Region

A broader location label used in summary and ROI tables. See also: ROI tables.

Marker

An immunofluorescence channel or biological marker such as DAPI, NeuN, or GFAP. See also: Markers.

Channel

An image channel associated with a marker or stain. See also: Image table.

Object Marker

A marker used to identify objects or cells in an imported object table. See also: Marker tables.

Attribute

A measured property associated with an object, ROI, or marker. See also: Marker tables.

Colocalisation

The overlap or relationship between marker-positive populations or channels. See also: Colocalisation plots.

Combo

A marker-combination category used in colocalisation summaries and pie charts. See also: plot_combo_pies.

Intensity

A fluorescence measurement for a marker, often summarized per object or ROI. See also: Summary table.

Integrated Density

An intensity-like measurement that combines signal and area. See also: Marker tables.

Count

The number of objects, cells, or marker-positive events in a selected region. See also: Mean bars.

Area

A size measurement for objects, ROIs, or regions. See also: ROI tables.

Volume

A 3D size measurement when exported by the imaging workflow. See also: Summary table.

Hemisphere

A left/right anatomical side label when present in source tables. See also: Filter By and row filters.

Section

A tissue section or slice identifier when present in imported data. See also: Marker tables.

Representative Image

An image selected to stand in for a subject, group, marker, or ROI in a panel. See also: plot_representative_images.

Scale Bar

A length annotation drawn on image panels when physical pixel size is available. See also: Image panels.
