Fixed-cell fluorescence specimen, acquisition, artifact and replicate lineage contract
Imaging & Analysis · IMG-FAMILY-CONTRACT-1.0
이미지 결과보다 lineage를 먼저 고정하세요
Widefield와 confocal 설정을 섞지 않고, 모든 derived artifact를 raw parent에 연결하며, field를 biological replicate 또는 colocalization을 interaction으로 해석하지 않습니다.
1. VALIDATE SPECIMEN HANDOFF
Import only minimum specimen identity, staining receipt, preparation revision, groups, controls and unknowns; never copy the staining recipe.
2. DECLARE QUESTION AND REPLICATE LEVELS
Predeclare experiment, biological replicate, technical replicate, field and object identities without treating fields as independent biological replicates.
3. LOCK MODALITY AND INSTRUMENT
Select widefield, laser-scanning confocal or spinning-disk confocal and record exact instrument, objective, detector and channel identities.
4. CAPTURE ACQUISITION SETTINGS
Record pixel calibration, z geometry, bit depth, exposure or dwell, gain, laser power, order, sampling plan and saturation disposition.
5. FREEZE RAW ARTIFACT
Create an immutable raw artifact identity with checksum and dimensions. A raw artifact cannot name a processed parent.
6. APPEND PROCESSING AND EXCLUSIONS
Every derived artifact names one parent, operation, parameters and software revision; exclusions remain rows with reason and actor.
7. SUMMARIZE WITHOUT PSEUDOREPLICATION
Aggregate objects and fields within their explicit hierarchy, then technical replicates within biological replicates; never silently pool levels.
8. ISSUE INTERPRETATION HANDOFF
Export measurements, setting mismatches, controls, caveats and unknowns. Do not emit a universal image-quality or biological PASS.
