Flat-field correction The software can do flat-field correction based on acquired images, provided that foreground/background and areas without cells are present. This also works in wells filled with tissue, or more-than-confluent cell cultures. |
- When done: open eject the lid sample (settings - Operetta CLS - openeject) and remove plate/slide holder. Afterwards "eject" once more to close the system again.
Exporting data
- In the "settings" menu up top, data management can be used to export data
- Export your data as an "archive" for later re-analysis using Harmony, eg. on the CAi image-analysis PC
- Export your data as "measurement + associated data" to save results as TIFF files, alongside already-performed measurement outcomes, and re-analysis eg. using CellProfiler
- Connect to the CAi shared network drive to store the data, or bring your own data-carrier (USB).
- After the session, delete your data from the Operetta computer.
