10.1 | 19 | * //Quantifier** **//is only able to extract one RGB colour at a time. Apply one RBG colour to all of the objects of interest, and specify this colour co//d//e in the GUI (e.g. 255, 0, 0 for red). |

| |
2.4 | 21 | To generate the segmentations we recommend the //Pixel and// //Object Classification workflows// in the //ilastik// software (//ilastik.org//). However, any image analysis software may be used. |
