Channel Composite Images

May 21, 2026

The image viewer now supports composite channel images, merging multiple fluorescence channels into a single pseudocolor overlay. This solves a key workflow gap for instruments like the CQ1 where fluorescence datasets are captured as separate channels at the same timepoint — scientists can now view them together without switching back and forth.

Details

  • Per-channel controls: Adjust each channel's intensity with individual opacity sliders, letting you emphasize or suppress specific signals in the overlay.
  • Merge toggle: Switch between the composite merged view and individual channel views with a single click in the toolbar.
  • Canvas-based rendering: The overlay uses direct canvas compositing for smooth, responsive interaction even with multiple high-resolution channels.
