addition, if applicable, the assay number, well formatting, and current value of the
well are displayed in the status bar. If you select Report Only Location from the
IMAGE menu, the coordinates of the cursor and the absorbance value at that point
will be displayed, but not the well information.

Image Features

½

In studying the features of a microplate image, it is useful to first magnify the
image using the zoom tools.

A typical microplate image shows the microplate grid, the outlines of the defined
wells, and the defined area of the well that data was collected from.

If Show Wells on the IMAGE menu is selected, color representations of the
individual wells will be displayed. The size and shape of these wells are specified in
the Physical Dimensions dialog box (see below, and in section 4.1.2).
