Input Name What it is
Input Image Linked Image
Tool Origin The tool’s origin relative to the entire image space. Use this only if you
are trying to find an origin relative to another tool.
Find Shape List This is the tool’s search area.
Shape List ROI
Type
Each Shape is separate ROI: Each shape is processed as a separate
ROI and the results are combined. This mode is faster than the other
mode if the shapes are far apart, but results are duplicated if the shapes
overlap.
ShapeList is One ROI: The ShapeList is one large rectangular ROI and
the shapes are the enabled pixels within the rectangle. The tool may be
slow if the shapes are far apart. This setting allows shapes to overlap
and form complex shapes without repeating the overlapped pixels and
duplicating results.
Spot Size This defines the spot area to average.
Threshold Grey-level values above this threshold (for bright objects) or below this
threshold (for dark objects) are excluded from the averages.
Spot Type The type of spot to detect.
Find Bright Spots: the maximum average grey-level within the spot is
found.
Find Dark Spots: the minimum average grey-level within the spot is
found.
Optimization Find Spots Accurately: To find spots that are irregular in size and shape.
The tool runs more slowly but with better accuracy.
Find Spots Quickly: To find spots that are more uniform in size and
shape. The tool runs more quickly.
