Table 2 Remaining volume fraction of cellular tissue at two specific steps in the + image processing protocol for cell isolation. The volume fraction is expressed in terms of the total cellular volume in the unprocessed images. The remaining volume fraction after removing clusters was used for analyzing the individual cells
