Image Features
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 page 57).
