Images of H&E or immunohistochemically stained tissue sections or immunofluorescence sections are captured on the Leica Versa 200 digital scanner and uploaded to the HALO imaging and annotation software.
The HALO software allows you to annotate the tissue (tumor, stroma, muscle, fat etc.) and then count cells that are positive for protein of choice (Figure) within each of these annotated regions. It will also enable you to analyze and quantify nearest neighbor interactions.
The software includes a figure-making tool that can create multi-panel photos of images in publishable formats including reference frames and scale bars.
