*FN2 Segment and ratio* is a powerful plugin to quickly perform ratiometric analysis of 2D, 3D or 4D microscopy images, with an new user interface and a live updating preview. The plugin performs full 3D segmentation of images, which means you don't analyse background, and does all the analysis, ready for you to plot and interpret. The algorithm can be used to analyse punctate sensors (e.g. nuclear localised) on a per object basis, or diffuse sensors (e.g. cytoplasmic) on a pixel by pixel basis, with quickload settings buttons. Saturated pixels are automatically removed. Settings can be saved and used for headless processing, or even batch (alpha).

• Results Table: ◦ Includes the ratiometric calculation (emission ratio) your channel quantifications, and x, y, z positions. This can be saved as a .csv and then analysed in python, R or excel.

-
• Label map: ◦ An image in which every nucleus is given a value that corresponds to the “label” in the results table.
63
-
• Emission ratio map: ◦ An image in which every nucleus is given the value of it’s emission ratio
64
-
• Average Z projected emission ratio map: ◦ An average Z projection of the emission ratio map
65
-
• Nearest point emission ratio map: ◦ A nearest point projection of the emission ratio map, with outlines added between the nuclei NB: the scale of this image is different to the original image and other images, allowing thin outlines to be drawn.

• Log: ◦ Details of the image file and exact analysis settings used to keep with your metadata. Savable as a .txt file

### Technical implementation (jargon)

The segmentation tool works by a DoG or Gaussian filter, then Otsu to generate a binary map. An optional watershed can then be used to split objects, but a 3D watershed it a little too severe and causes the loss of many nuclei and many shrink down much smaller than their original size. By comparing my watershed to non watersheded binary maps I can create a map of the 'lost nuclei' to add them back in later. A connected components analysis is used to generate a label map of the watersheded nuclei, and then dilated the labelmap on zero pixels only to fill all the space. I then multiply this by the orginal threshold image to get a a good segmentation with good enough split objects. But this will give incorrect labelling to the 'lost nuclei' present in the image. To correct this, I run a connected components on the 'lost nuclei' map, to generate labels, and add on the max value of the OTHER label map. Then I use maximumImage to superimpose these labels on the other label map to get my FINAL label map.

A simple plugin to allow **Trackmate 7** analysed label images (Analyse the FRETENATOR label map for tracking then export the tracked label map as dots) to be combined with **FRETENATOR_Segment_and_ratio** output. This adds TrackIDs to the results table and creats a new TrackID labelmap that can be analysed with the ROI manager.
