Automatic Fallback for Dense Montage Grids

Some montage captures pack in more tiles than can be rendered legibly. Plate and well views now detect this and fall back to a single representative tile per well, with a clear "Too many images per well" notice, rather than showing tiny unreadable thumbnails.

Details

  • Plates too dense to display legibly fall back to one representative tile per well, with a clear "Too many images per well" notice rather than unreadable thumbnails.
  • Observations whose layout data can't be interpreted show an explanatory placeholder instead of a potentially misleading image. Well pages still show every individual site image.
  • Plate image export and AI report overviews only generate when image geometry can be read correctly, avoiding exports that misrepresent the data.
"Apply to All" Image Filter Workflows

You can now apply an image filter setting to every plate or every well in one step, instead of adjusting each one individually. The action includes a confirmation step so you can review the change before it's applied, and existing per-item overrides are preserved rather than being wiped out.

Plate View Gets the Stitched/Montage View Toggle

Plate View can now render imagery from non-square cameras (e.g. Keyence 4:3) at the correct aspect ratio, bringing it in line with the toggle already available in Well View:

Details

  • New Montage View (default): true-aspect tiles with small gaps between fields of view — matches the prior look for square sprites.
  • New Stitched View (opt-in): fields of view rendered contiguously, for a seamless montage look.
  • Existing square-camera sprites are unaffected until they're regenerated.
AI Assistant Remembers Your Conversation

The AI Assistant no longer forgets what you were discussing. Reopening it after a page reload, a tab restore, or opening a link in a new tab on the same site now resumes your existing conversation instead of starting a new one, with a brief loading state while it restores. A conversation that's no longer available simply falls back to a fresh chat.

Behind-the-Scenes Fixes & Tweaks

The FFT bandpass filter now stays applied as you move between plate and well views.

Fixed confidence threshold filtering and eliminated stale or cross-plate classification data during review.

Well pages no longer stall for 16-20 seconds or time out when quickly reviewing wells across a plate.

Cytation datasets with empty or malformed result files now ingest successfully, with plate dimensions preserved from instrument metadata.

Failed requests now show clear errors with retry instead of silently appearing blank or empty.
