Dear Dan,
Firstly, the channel colours. I'm afraid these are what is present in the OME-XML exported from Zen:
- Code: Select all
<Channel AcquisitionMode="WideField" Color="255" ContrastMethod="Fluorescence" EmissionWavelength="465" ExcitationWavelength="353" Fluor="DAPI" ID="Channel:0:0" IlluminationType="Epifluorescence" Name="DAPI" SamplesPerPixel="1">
<DetectorSettings Binning="1x1" ID="Detector:1"/>
<FilterSetRef ID="FilterSet:1"/>
<LightPath/>
</Channel>
<Channel AcquisitionMode="WideField" Color="16711680" ContrastMethod="Fluorescence" EmissionWavelength="603" ExcitationWavelength="577" Fluor="Alexa Fluor 568" ID="Channel:0:1" IlluminationType="Epifluorescence" Name="Alexa Fluor 568" SamplesPerPixel="1">
<DetectorSettings Binning="1x1" ID="Detector:1"/>
<FilterSetRef ID="FilterSet:2"/>
<LightPath/>
</Channel>
<Channel AcquisitionMode="WideField" Color="16711935" ContrastMethod="Fluorescence" EmissionWavelength="668" ExcitationWavelength="653" Fluor="Alexa Fluor 647" ID="Channel:0:2" IlluminationType="Epifluorescence" Name="Alexa Fluor 647" SamplesPerPixel="1">
<DetectorSettings Binning="1x1" ID="Detector:1"/>
<FilterSetRef ID="FilterSet:3"/>
<LightPath/>
</Channel>
The colours values are 255, 16711680 and 16711935. These are black (opaque), green (transparent) and green (opaque) respectively. Not a particularly useful combination, but that's what's in the exported OME-TIFF, and this is retained as the channel colour after import into Insight. If this is not what was set in Zen, then this is likely an issue with the OME-TIFF export functionality in Zen, and I would suggest contacting Zeiss about it.
Secondly, for setting the channel colours in the webclient, this should certainly work. Click on the "edit" link, choose the channel colours, and then press "save" (not "apply"), and the changes should be preserved on the server, and the image thumbnail should update to reflect the changes.
Regards,
Roger Leigh
