help_colocalization_8 colors_RBG

Laura Lucia Prieto Godino
Dear Image J users and developers,

I really need your help. I have been looking around in the available  
plugins and I couldn't find a way of doing the following:

I have an RGB stack with 3 channels. Each channel is a binary file, so  
the whole set of stacks only has 8 colour: red, green, blue, yellow  
(colocalization of red+green), white (blue+red+green), magenta (red
+blue),light blue (green+blue) and black.
I need to know how many pixels of each color i have in the total stack  
so that I can calculate the volumes  in µm^3 of each of the colors. I  
found that with the colocalization analisys I can do this for stacks  
with only 4 colours (red, green, black, yellow) ,but it only admits 2  
channel not three and therefore, i coulnd't find a way of doing it  
with three colors at the same time and it is especially important for  
me to know the volume of the white pixels. (I know that otherwise I  
could just calculate separately first red+blue, and I would get: red,  
blue and magenta; and red+green, to get red, green and yellow; and  
green+blue, to get light blue) but I could get a way of knowing which  
one is the volume of white pixels.

As well I thought that I might be able to do it with the tool Object  
counter 3D, but I don't know why it doesn't work for me, whenever I  
try to use it, the following error pops out:

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value -1095041334 in  
class file Object_Counter3D

Thank you very much for your help. I really need to do this  
computation and Image J is the only program I can think of able of  
doing this.

Best,

Lucia
