Probe Run List

Purpose

Use this command to view and work with the results of probes.

Procedure

  1. Click Probe Run List in the Probes ribbon (or click the Display probe Run List button in a workflow). The Previous Stereological Runs window is displayed.

  2. From the list, highlight the probe runs of interest.

    3. To view results for an entire region of interest, CTRL-click to select all probe runs from the sections containing the region of interest. This will generate results for the entire structure, not just one section of the structure.

  3. Click View Results. The Sampling Results window is displayed.

  4. Click on a category in the left hand panel to display the corresponding results in the right hand panel.

  5. Optional: Click Export to export the results of all selected probe runs directly to Excel (2003 or later).

Previous Stereological Runs window

Displays a list of all the previous stereological runs associated with the current data set. Select probes of interest and click on desired button.

Open Probe: Restarts the probe (keeps all data associated with the probe). Useful for second reviewers or to resume work for a probe run that couldn't be completed in one session (in this case, the probe is restarted at the site that was visited last).

  • If the second run occurs after the synchronization between the tracing and a given section has been lost (e.g., the slide is removed from the microscope), realign the tracing with the slide to review the original run accurately.
  • If the markers placed during the first run are turned off, a second run can be executed without the visual bias of previous markers.

View Results: Displays results of selected probe runs.

Delete: Deletes the selected probe run.

This does not delete the markers associated with the probe run. To delete the markers, select the section in the serial section manager, select the markers that were associated with the probe run and delete them.

Draw Sites: Use to view the counting frame locations of the probe run.

Configure: Displays the Configure Probe Run List dialog. Use to add, remove, and configure the columns in the Previous Stereological Runs window.

Close: Closes the Previous Stereological Runs window.

Sampling Results window

Displays the results of the probes selected in the Previous Stereological Runs window. Click on a category in the left hand panel to display the corresponding results in the right hand panel.

Print Displayed Results: Prints the currently displayed results category for all selected probe runs.

Print All Results: Prints results of all selected probe runs.

Copy Displayed Results to Clipboard: Copies the currently displayed results category for all selected probe runs to the Windows Clipboard.

Copy All Results to Clipboard: Copies results of all selected probe runs to the Windows Clipboard.

Edit Shape Factor: Displays the Shape Factor dialog box (see Shape Factor). To obtain as accurate an estimate of the Coefficient of Error as possible, use the slider to edit the Shape Factor which describes the shape of the region of interest.

Edit Mounted Thickness: Use to adjust the mounted section thickness.

Equations: Displays the equations used for the probe runs.

Export to Excel: Exports results of all selected probe runs directly to Excel (2003 or later).

Close: Closes the Sampling Results window.
