Columbus image analysis pipeline

Building block Specification/details
Input Image Selected input image is displayed.
Find Nuclei Nuclei are detected based on Hoechst signal.
Output population: I
Calculate Intensity Properties Intensities of nuclei are calculated.
Calculate Morphology Properties Area and roundness of nuclei are calculated.
Select Population Nuclei at the border of the image are removed.
Output population: II
Select Population (2) Additional nuclei are excluded based on individual area, roundness, and intensity parameters.
Output population: III
Find Cytoplasm Cell cytoplasms are defined based on previously selected nuclei (Output population: III).
Calculate Intensity Properties (2) ΔΨm intensity is calculated based on TMRM channel within the previously defined cell regions.
Define Results Output results are defined. “Population III” is used to select “Number of Objects” (nuclei) and the mean “ΔΨm intensity” in the cell as results.
