简介：

Overview

This study addresses the issue of chromatic shifts in multicolor fluorescence microscopy images. The protocol developed allows for accurate correction of these shifts in biological samples, ensuring better quantitative data analyses.

Key Study Components

Research Area

• Microscopy
• Fluorescence Imaging
• Data Analysis

Background

• Chromatic shifts can interfere with colocalization analysis of high-resolution microscopy images.
• These shifts can arise from the biological samples themselves, complicating their correction.
• The protocol utilizes acquired reference images to enhance accuracy in image processing.

Methods Used

• Development of a protocol using Chromagnon software
• Biological system: HeLa cells
• Techniques: Fluorescence microscopy, staining protocols, image processing

Main Results
