Table 1. Suggested naming conventions for CellProfiler metadata.
| Image_FileName_RawBF | Image_PathName_RawBF | Metadata_Date | Metadata_Experiment | Metadata_Plate | Metadata_Magnification | Metadata_Well |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The naming of “Metadata_Plate” and “Metadata_Well” are essential to the setflags(), viewPlate(), viewWell(), and viewDose() functions. Additionally, “Image_fileName_RawBF” and “Image_PathName_RawBF” are necessary for the proper function of viewDose().
