DQ-BSA quantification
DQ-BSA quantification
Segment maximal projection images from z-stacks spanning complete cells by using the find maxima function.
Threshold the duplicated images by default algorithm.
Combine the segmented and thresholder images by AND function to create a mask.
Obtain the mean gray values by applying analyze particle function to the mask and redirecting this whole analysis to the original images.
