Browsing quantification results

MISA++ applications store quantification results in a standardized and flexible format that is capable of organizing large amounts of metadata. The data is stored as objects such as quantities with units, locations or application-specific objects such as glomeruli.

MISA++ for ImageJ includes a tool to filter, browse and process the quantification results and create tables of only the relevant information.

Important: The tool is designed to handle millions of data entries and uses a SQLite database to handle such an amount of data. The database is created by the MISA++ Result Analyzer application. Please check if it is installed and in the list of available applications (see Managing applications).

The user interface is divided into three sections:

1. An interface to filter the quantification results

2. A tree to navigate the filtered results

3. The selected object(s) displayed as table or object

The data flows from left to right: Quantification results are filtered by the filter tool and then displayed in the object tree. You can browse the tree and further refine your selection that will be displayed as table or object.

Filtering

To add a filter, click Add filter and select one of the filter types. Each filter has a button Remove filter that deletes the filter from the list and a toggle Disable filter that temporarily disables the filter without deleting it.

Following filters are included in MISA++ for ImageJ:

<col />

<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <b>Filter</b></p>
    </td>
    <td ><p >
        <b>Description</b></p>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <img src="/img/imagej/userguide_html_7e9251409421e5be.png" name="image95.png" class="inline-image" border="0"/>

Filter by SQL

Tip: If you want to re-use the filters for your own SQLite query, click Copy filters as SQL query to obtain the query.

Object tree

The object tree lists all unfiltered objects in a hierarchy and acts as input for the table and object browser.

The toolbar has following actions:

<col />

<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <b>Action</b></p>
    </td>
    <td ><p >
        <b>Description</b></p>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <img src="/img/imagej/userguide_html_7e9251409421e5be.png" name="image2.png" class="inline-image" border="0"/>

Automatically update

        </p>
        <p >Disable this feature if you
        change lots of filter settings at once and don’t want to wait
        for the database update.</p>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <img src="/img/imagej/userguide_html_741a8f89f0bfae4f.png" name="image5.png" class="inline-image" border="0"/>

Creating a table and browsing objects

The data browser allows you to either browse the quantification results as objects or create a table (default option).

The table creator has following actions:

<col />

<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <b>Action</b></p>
    </td>
    <td ><p >
        <b>Description</b></p>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr >
    <td ><p >
        <img src="/img/imagej/userguide_html_7e9251409421e5be.png" name="Image6" class="inline-image" border="0"/>

Automatically update

By changing the current mode from Table to Object list, all selected quantification data is displayed as objects. You can browse the list and export objects in JSON format.
