interpolation

nadyaspice
Hello all,

I'm looking into the pros/cons of splitting the channels of white light
versus using specific R, G, B illuminators. An issue that I'm not sure how
to sort out is the fact that when splitting the channels of an image with
ImageJ, it interpolates between pixels to complete the image. Is there a way
to make it not interpolate the pixels, and in fact leave these spaces blank
where there is no actual information? Do you think it will be more accurate
using RAW or .tif files than a jpeg (probably because jpegs are already
interpolated...)? Thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you!

Do you want to get the raw R, G, and B images from a color camera that has a
mosaic (Bayer) filter?  If so it is the camera that performs the
interpolation before it spits out the TIFF or JPEG image, it is not ImageJ
that interpolates.  I too am curious to know if the RAW format leaves the
blank pixels at 0.  If you're asking whether it's better to use a mosaic
camera vs. one that changes R, G, and B filters to use the full chip for
each color then the latter gives higher resolution but the former is faster.
