Multi wavelength cell scoring module
Used to analyze cells imaged in 1-7 wavelengths. With 2 or more wavelengths, it will score cells as positive or negative for each wavelength and assign it a “profile” of its score in each wavelength. (992.5 kB, PDF)

Multi wavelength translocation module
Measures nuclear translocation in assays with a nuclear stain and 1-6 probes of interest. Scores cells as positive or negative for each wavelength based on correlation with the nuclear stain. Assigns profiles to cells based on their score in each wavelength (571.1 kB, PDF)
