Another parameter used to quantify colocalization in image pairs
−
Insensitive to differences in signal intensities between the two channels, photo-bleaching or
amplifier settings
Value range 0 – 1 (0: no colocalization, 1:all pixels colocalize)
6.12 Profile View
This function allows to
−
display the intensity distribution of an image
along a straight or curved line,
−
show the intensity values in table form and
copy table to clipboard or save as text file,
−
show separate profiles for each channel in a
multi-channel image.
The settings of the
Dimensions, Display

Player
and Graphics view options control blocks apply.
The additional view-specific
Profile View Option

The content of the overlay plane is temporarily hidden while the toolbar is displayed.
The
Profile
View can also be used online during scanning.
•
Draw a Profile line in the image display to define a profile. The intensity curves are shown in a separate
graph (see Fig. 672).
•
In the Profile View Option control block you can select the width and type of the profile line. The
color setting is taken from the
Graphics
View Option control block.
•
You can place two markers on the profile line to measure differences in intensities and distances in the
XY plane.
•
Tick the Profile in Image Display block to see an intensity graph superimposed on the image (see
Fig. 673).
