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.
