What is the best way of obtaining images that containing both red and
green channels on the same image, such theat they can be exported etc
to produce high quality hardcopies? Also, is it possible to
simultaneously scan and display both channels using the MRC 1000?
 
    My solution has been; simultaneous scan with split screen and then work the
images with NIH Image (in a Mac-PowerPC) the macros prepared by Harvey J. Karten
(email: [log in to unmask]) are very good. My images are sets of 30-40 MB and I
down load then via the net or with a zip disk (sneaker net). The split and color
merge macros need some RAM, I am using now 120MB. The added advantage is that
you could do 3D reconstruction in color. This option is the least expensive that
I have. For the hard copies I use a tectronics printer.
 
    Other option is to upgrade to 1024. I am just starting to use it, and 3 PMT
with 3 colors in the screen has advantages.
 
    Other option contact:

    Bren has a system (base on IBM) to reconstruct tissue samples (100-150um)
with 3 colors (the images that he generates are impresive!!)
