Tissue and pathology image analysis for stained sections and IHC.
Turn stained tissue images into counts, areas, intensity measurements, and reviewable maps.
What this page covers
Use this page when the source image is a tissue section, histology field, pathology region, or IHC stain. The focus is quantitative biological readouts rather than equipment planning.
Talk through your images
Send one field or slide region, the stain, and the scoring endpoint. We will identify the closest nuclei, DAB, positive-area, or custom tissue workflow.

Image inputs, QC, and outputs
Use this section to decide whether the page matches your assay before requesting a meeting. The goal is to preserve the biological endpoint while making the image analysis repeatable, reviewable, and exportable.
Image inputs
Tissue and pathology analysis starts with representative images that match the endpoint your lab reports. Include controls and edge cases so thresholds can be set against real biological variation, not only ideal fields.
- Primary measurements: Nuclei count, Positive area, Optical density, and Region area
- Matched positive and negative controls when available
- Consistent magnification, channel order, plate layout, or time-point labels
QC and validation
Each workflow should leave a visible trail from raw image to measurement. Review masks, thresholds, and flagged fields before exporting the final table.
- Raw image and overlay review before batch export
- Locked settings for repeated plates, stains, or time points
- QC flags for dim signal, merged objects, uneven background, or failed segmentation
Outputs for analysis
ConductVision should return both visual evidence and structured data so the result can be checked, summarized, and reused in downstream statistics.
- Typical outputs: Stain-separated overlays, ROI tables, Intensity maps, and Methods-ready exports
- Per-image, per-cell, per-object, or per-well tables where relevant
- CSV exports for Prism, Excel, R, Python, or LIMS handoff
Workflows to start from
Open an existing ConductVision page when the workflow already exists, or request a meeting when your assay needs custom thresholds, outputs, or validation rules.
H&E nuclei
Nuclei detection, density maps, and annotations in hematoxylin-stained tissue.
DAB and IHC staining
Positive area, optical density, and H-score-style summaries from chromogenic stains.
Pathology and histology
Region and feature quantification for pathology research image analysis.
Percent area
Coverage and area-percentage measurements for stained or segmented tissue regions.

Frequently asked questions
These answers cover the practical questions labs usually ask before sending example images or requesting a ConductVision workflow review.
What images work best for tissue and pathology analysis?
Use representative images from the same microscope, scanner, plate reader, or camera setup used in the study. The most useful examples include controls, typical fields, difficult fields, and any cases that affect Nuclei count, Positive area, Optical density, and Region area.
Can ConductVision handle custom tissue and pathology endpoints?
Send one field or slide region, the stain, and the scoring endpoint. We will identify the closest nuclei, DAB, positive-area, or custom tissue workflow. ConductScience can confirm whether an existing workflow fits or define custom segmentation, thresholding, review, and export rules for the assay.
What results are usually exported from this workflow?
The expected deliverables include Stain-separated overlays, ROI tables, and Intensity maps, plus structured tables for downstream analysis. The page also lists the specific measurements and review outputs that are most relevant to this application.
Find out if ConductVision fits your tissue and pathology workflow
Send representative images, assay details, and the measurement endpoint. ConductScience can confirm the closest existing workflow or scope a custom analysis path.
