IF Cellular microenvironment
Determine phenotypes of specific IF-stained cell populations, analyze spatial relationships to neighboring cells and metastructures (e.g. vessels, tumors), and perform proximity and infiltration analyses.

The IF Cellular Microenviroment App allows to determine the cellular phenotype of specific IF stained cell populations and establishes their spatial relationship between each other, their neighbour cells/cell populations as well as the one with metastructures (e.g. blood vessels, tumors) in their vicinity. It is especially suited for proximity and infiltration analyses.
