Figure 4
Example of the progress of group merging and deleting operations. (a) Initial configuration; (b),(c) merging two red blood cell groups; (d),(e),(g) merging two yeast cell groups; (f) deleting a yeast cell group. The overlay of Mn (green), Fe (red) and Zn (blue) elemental maps (h) shows that this area contains four red blood cells and one yeast cell, which overlaps one of the red blood cells. The end configuration in (g) shows that the estimation procedure identifies this configuration correctly. Group boundaries are shown as ellipses for illustration only; all operations are based on taking the union of pixels. |
