Case study
You are back from your acquisition session at the microscope with some images taken all the same way. What about now?
Being well-organized
Being well organized from the beignin will save you a lot of time. Do you have a filename nomenclature? If not, here is my suggestion: Include all relevant variables in your filename. Use a dedicated character to separate them. Keep them organized and well ordered.
For example I use an underscore _ as a separator. I order variables in a hierachic manner.
VariableA-001_VariableB-01_VariableC-0.tif
In the example below I have 3 variables:
- Slides with 5 levels: 1-5
- Coverslips with 3 levels: 1-3
- Images with 3 levels: 1-3
