programming ratiometric imaging : need help

[Julien Husson-3]

Dear Micro-Manager users,

the beanshell I was coding for ratiometric imaging is now working smoothly (horrah to Micro-Manager team again). Code would need some reasonable cleaning and tweeking to adapt it to another set-up, but I would be happy to send it from now on to any interested person.

For technical info my set-up is based on a Nikon TiE inverted microscope with a Ludl filter wheel. I am using the Fura2AM ratiometric probe, acquiring for ratio at 340 and 380nm excitation wavelength, emitting on FITC channel.

Beanshell works as follows.
* A menu asks for acquisition specs (file name, number of frames, time between frames, exposure times etc).
* User is first defines a background ROI (btw Beanshell handles subarray).
* User then defines a threshold to define cell/empty area (basically to avoid division by zero).
* Then the main loop acquires:
     - wavelength 1 image (340nm) and background level is measured,
     - wavelength 2 image (380nm) and background level is measured,
     - wavelength 3 image (FITC)
     - transmission image
     - displays on a separate window the wavelength1/wavelength 2 ratio with appropriate LUT and range to have a live monitoring.
* I also have a simpler beanshell that gives a single ratio snapshot of the system to monitor before starting a fullacquisition.
* I handle stack postprocessing with image j macros.

Cheers,

Julien

I'm suggesting that Julien's efforts be supported and expanded to create a generic ratiometric imaging plugin. I'm still trying to wrap my head around writing plugins, but I would be happy to help with this.

I'm wondering if anyone is working on a generic plugin for this kind of functionality. I would think that it wouldn't be all that much different from the current line profile function. Again, I'm trying to get a feeling for what might already be available before re-inventing the wheel as it were.

Dear 
Julien,

Here is an example for creating and ImageStack and displaying it in 
a
StackWindow:

import 
ij.*;
import 
ij.gui.*;

x1 = 
mmc.getImage();
x2 = 
mmc.getImage();
st = new 
ImageStack(512,512);
st.addSlice("",x1);
st.addSlice("",x2);
imgp = new 
ImagePlus("",st);
win = new 
StackWindow(imgp);

Best 
regards,
Arthur

Dear Micro-Manager 
team,
thanks to your help I have a beanshell (see below for it's minimal 
version)
running and displaying ratio images obtained via the calculate method. 
However
images are separate. I would still need some little help to make each 
new
ratio image incorporated into a stack. I was guessing that if I remove 
the
"create" option in ic.calculate 
arguments
(
  ic.calculate("Divide create 32-bit", imgp1, 
imgp2);
), I would be able to access some image processor without displaying 
the
separate image ratio, then use the processor to add a slice to a main 
stack.
By now I did not make it, could you give me a 
hand?

Best,
Julien
