This plot shows the volume occupied by chromosomes before and after mitosis. For example when cells are tracked with the lineage tracking algorithm every cell division creates an event and this leads to time statistics called “Event Time Event = TrackSplit” which Imaris computes to enable plotting of statistics values around the time of cell division. Other choices for the time axis come from the definition of events. In the Vantage Time Plot you can choose this time as the x-axis to for example produce an MSD plot (mean squared displacement plot). When objects are tracked Imaris automatically records “Time Since Track Start” statistics values. The plot shows median values as well as 25 and 75 percent quantiles over time and it lets you easily set up a comparison between different surpass objects or between different classes in a single surpass object. It plots statistics values measured by surpass objects, i.e. Vantage Time Plotsįor the study of dynamical phenomena we have added a Time plot to the Vantage module. Using this approach from spatial statistics users can study interactions between spots and surfaces. Imaris 9.7 lets users address an important question: “Is there an interaction (spatial relationship) between spots and surfaces?” To answer this question Imaris computes the number of spots within a distance d of the surface as a function of the distance and compares the observed function with simulations of spots positioned under complete spatial randomness.
For example in a movie of dividing cells where divisions happen at different time points one can define an event for a cell when it undergoes cell division and then plot measurements synchronized by their time relative to the event. Imaris 9.7 facilitates the investigation of dynamics of individual cells by providing an easy mechanism to synchronize measurements from an entire population based on “events” independently defined for each cell. New measurements and new plots provide useful information and analysis. Imaris 9.7 addresses two themes: Dynamics and Structure.
