HALO® Module

Vacuole Quantification

The Vacuole Quantification module is a multi-purpose module that can be used for quantifying the number and size of white spaces in tissue. Typical applications are lipids in brown and white adipose tissue, lipid droplets in liver tissue (steatosis), and alveoli area in lung.
