Dear Alan,
attached you find a simple macro which creates a background images,
performs a 'flat field' correction, applies a threshold and count the
particles with the Particle Analyzer.
The results I got with this macro are (size=300-Infinity):
Slice Count Total Area Average Size
%Area IntDen
control 180 498631.000 2770.172
15.607 706393.917
10 micromolar 147 259839.000 1767.612 8.133
450741.122
50 micromolar 121 82643.000 683.000 2.587
174165
Hope this will help you to find a way into your work.
Regards,
Peter
