  • 3D wavelet-based filter and method
    Publication number: 20050123216
    Abstract: A 3D wavelet-based filter for visualizing and locating structural features of a user-specified linear size in 2D or 3D image data. The only input parameter is a characteristic linear size of the feature of interest, and the filter output contains only those regions that are correlated with the characteristic size, thus denoising the image.

  • Multihue labels
    Publication number: 20040072233
    Abstract: Particulate labels that can be individually identified comprise particulate supports to which are bound at least two distinguishable signal generating moieties, such as fluorophores emitting at different wavelengths, which signals are detectable and measurable in situ. By varying the ratio and/or amounts of the signal generating moieties, a multiplicity of different and distinguishable labels is obtained. Each different label can then be coupled to a different reagent and the individual interactions of each reagent with a target observed in parallel.
