A user interface method and system for controlling automated image processing operations of HCS and/or HTS systems includes a graphical interface to enable user designation of an image naming convention, image sources and destinations, image processing channels, processing parameter values, and processing spatial designations. The graphical interface includes an image viewer. |

| Claim: |
1. A user interface method for controlling automated processing of images acquired from a sample of biological material, including processor-executed steps comprising: displaying a graphical user interface; receiving via the graphical user interface an image viewer selection from a pull-down menu; receiving via an image viewer graphical user interface a designation of mask image sources; receiving via the image viewer interface a designation of at least one mask image contained in at least one designated mask image source; and, displaying the at least one mask image; the mask image including a first mask image with masks representing positions of a first component in the image. |
| Claim: |
2. The user interface method of claim 1, wherein the first component is a cell nucleus. |
| Claim: |
3. The user interface method of claim 2, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying nuclear mask peripheries with nuclear mask interiors. |
| Claim: |
4. The user interface method of claim 2, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying nuclear mask peripheries without nuclear mask interiors. |
| Claim: |
5. The user interface method of claim 2, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying nuclear masks and a unique identification with each nuclear mask. |
| Claim: |
6. The user interface method of claim 2, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying nuclear masks and a bounding box with each nuclear mask. |
| Claim: |
7. The user interface method of claim 2, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying nuclear masks and a centroid with each nuclear mask. |
| Claim: |
8. The user interface method of claim 1, wherein the first component is transcribed RNA. |
| Claim: |
9. The user interface method of claim 8, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying RNA mask peripheries with mask interiors or without mask interiors. |
| Claim: |
10. The user interface method of claim 8, wherein displaying the at least one mask image includes displaying RNA masks and at least one of a unique identification with each mask, a bounding box with each mask, and a centroid with each mask. |
| Claim: |
11. A user interface method for controlling automated processing of images acquired from a sample of biological material, including processor-executed steps comprising: displaying a graphical user interface; receiving via the graphical user interface a designation of image sources and destinations; receiving via the graphical user interface a designation of at least one image processing channel corresponding to a respective image component; storing at the designated image destinations mask images generated from by an automated image process from images stored at the designated image sources; receiving via the graphical user interface an image viewer selection from a pull-down menu; receiving via the image viewer interface a designation of an acquired image contained in at least one designated image source; and, displaying a composite image constituted of the acquired image and at least one mask produced from the acquired image; and, coloring an object in the composite image that exhibits an effect produced by an processing parameter value. |
| Claim: |
12. The user interface method of claim 11, wherein receiving designation of at least one image processing channel includes receiving designation of a first dye. |
| Claim: |
13. The user interface method of claim 12, wherein the first dye is a nuclear stain. |
| Claim: |
14. The user interface method of claim 12, wherein the first dye is an RNA stain. |
| Claim: |
15. The user interface method of claim 11, wherein receiving designation of at least one first image processing channel includes receiving designation of a first dye corresponding to a first image processing channel and a second dye corresponding to a second image processing channel. |
| Claim: |
16. The user interface method of claim 15, wherein the first dye is a nuclear stain. |
| Claim: |
17. The user interface method of claim 16, wherein the second dye is an RNA stain. |
| Claim: |
18. The user interface method of claim 15, wherein the first component is a cell nucleus. |
| Claim: |
19. The user interface method of claim 12, wherein displaying the composite image includes displaying mask peripheries with mask interiors or without mask interiors. |
| Claim: |
20. The user interface method of claim 12, wherein displaying the composite image includes displaying masks and at least one of a unique identification with each mask, a bounding box with each mask, and a centroid with each mask. |
