ABD (Area Based Diameter)
- The diameter calculated as the diameter of a circle with an area that is
equal to the ABD Area. The ABD Area is the combined area of all the pixels that are deemed part of the
particle so the ABD Diameter is the diameter of the circle obtained by arranging these pixels in a solid
circle.
No Size Filter
- Instructs VisualSpreadsheet not to drop/remove particles based on size.
Advanced Acquisition Filter
- When enabled, this filter allows the user to define and implement an
additional filter at the time of acquisition. The Advanced Acquisition Filter is applied after the Basic
Size Acquisition Filter. Any particles meeting the Basic Size Acquisition Filter requirements are then
subjected to the Advanced filter. When enabling this feature, the user will be prompted to use a Filter
Dialog box to build and save the Advanced Acquisition Filter (or to Find or Edit a previously built and
saved filter). The order for particle processing/filtering is as follows:
1.
Segment out all particles from the raw camera image
2.
Acceptable region filtering
3.
Basic size filtering
4.
Group particles (not a filtering operation)
5.
Basic size filtering done on any grouped particles
6.
Obtain the PMT/Scatter data (not a filtering operation)
7.
Calculate all derived particle fields (not a filtering operation)
8.
Apply any Advanced filters
