Workflow

DBSCAN (Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) performs multi-dimensional clustering based on the local density of points. This plugin is implemented for 2-3 dimensions.

Two workflows are proposed here:

one based on fiducials, the other one on cross-correlation.

A workflow template to analyze subcellular structures in fluorescence 2D/3D microscopy images based on a Fiji plugin **Squassh** is described in Rizek et al (2014).

The workflow employs detecting, segmenting, and quantifying subcellular structures. For segmentation, it accounts for the microscope optics and for uneven image background. Further analyses include both colocalization and shape analyses. However, it does not work directly for time-lapse data. A brief summary note can be found here.

This macro is a plugin macro to the "Intelligent Imaging" workflow. It detects the Cytoo patterns (specific fluorsecence channel) and computes the occupancy (number of cells) of each pattern by analyzing the images of the DAPI channel. The analysis function can be easily extended to, for instance, only select the cells that are well spread on the patterns (by analyzing a third channel with a properly chosen marker of the cytoplasm).
