<p><b>Problems:</b> This works well for fixed samples, but what about live samples? With the current difficulties, we are not prepared to apply MicroMaps logic to motile samples. Moving samples are infeasible with current processing delays. For now, we recommend using the <a href="//2015.igem.org/Team:Cambridge-JIC/Webshell" class="blue">WebShell</a>. We are still working on this issue, expect the potential fix in MicroMaps Version 2. We made some progress with an image tracking challenge: each of our software team was challenged to track some moving pixels in an image ***(ants.gif) to find the hidden message, Will's entry shown in bants.gif***. Perhaps in v.2 interesting live features (eg. moving cells) will be automatically tracked.</p> | <p><b>Problems:</b> This works well for fixed samples, but what about live samples?

<p><b>Microscopic image processing:</b> The colour detection used above can theoretically be easily adapted to work with fluorescent samples – this would prove useful for sample counting and detection of, for example, samples that successfully express a specific fluorescent protein. A similar strategy can be applied to stained samples with interesting coloured features: for example to recognize stained nuclei (eg. with toluidine blue) and in this way distinguish eukaryotic cells.</p> | <p><b>Microscopic image processing:</b> The colour detection used above can theoretically be easily adapted to work with fluorescent samples – this would prove useful for sample counting and detection of, for example, samples that successfully express a specific fluorescent protein.
