Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for assessing relative macromolecule abundance (e.g., RNA expression levels) in a spatially-defined manner across a tissue sample, specifically providing deep transcriptomic coverage at high-resolution across multiple locations assessed across the tissue sample.

Abstract: At the simulation of a visual field of view for training of a battle situation, the image of the background is displayed on a TV-monitor (16) which is arranged in the field of view of the optics of a person to be trained and moveable targets are cut in in the background image. The background image as well as the target image are digitally stored and are displayed on the monitor after conversion into a video signal. In order to simulate a thermal image on the monitor, the gray scale levels of a daylight video picture of the background image point by image point are treated with an evaluation function which may be obtained for instance by comparing the daylight video picture with a true thermal picture. The thermal image representation of the cut-in targets for instance may be generated by a computer (FIG. 2).

Abstract: In a method for simulation of a field of view for battle training individual images of a terrain, targets, trajectories of projectiles and sights which are digitally stored in memories (10-16), after combining and digital/video conversion in an image synthesizing device (20), are displayed on a TV monitor (TVM). The images are stored as right and left half images, and they are displayed in a half image interlaced scanning. For simulation of a stereoscopic range meter preferably the sight memory (16) stores two half images of a stereoscopic index mark in addition. The image displacement of both half images is controlled as a function of range and a viewing unit (DO, BT1, BT2) serves to feed both half images on the TV monitor (TVM) to the eyes of the spectator (FIG. 4).

Abstract: At the simulation of a visual field of view as it is used on battle trainers, the image (16) of a background and the image (18) of a moveable target is displayed on a TV-monitor in the field of view of the optics of a person to be trained. The images are digitally stored whereat each image point according to its gray value (G.sub.H, G.sub.Z) is digitally coded. Additionally, with respect to individual objects (forest, bush etc.) in the background each image point is provided with a digital encoded range information (E.sub.H). By comparing this range information (E.sub.H) with the range information (E.sub.Z) of the target it is possible to decide with respect to the image area in which the target is present (G.sub.Z >0) whether the target is to display in front of or behind the individual object (FIG. 2).
