Analysis of foci within nuclei is important for assays such as a DNA damage assays, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, cell division assays, or any other assay that involves structures visible as foci (also referred to as punctae or spots) within the nuclei.

‍

Calculate the number, volume, intensity, density of such foci contained within nuclei. The nuclei and foci are each segmented separately in 3D. A compartments operation then allows for analyzing parent child relationships to quantify foci contained within each nucleus. The user can specify if the foci must be within, overlap or within a certain distance of the nuclear boundary.
