I have a simple question, related to an annoying problem.
I have an image of a multilabelled fluorescent specimen, displayed as a merged RGB image. I would like to analyze just the red channel, so I split the channels and obtain B & W images of the individual component. They all look as bright as the original.
However, if I only have a single red image and would like to convert it to a B & W image (change mode RGB to grey), for 8-bit analysis in ImageJ, for example, the resulting image is very dull and fainter. Furthermore, this effect is much more dramatic with a red image than with a green image.
What is happening?
Thanks,
Judy
