Overview of the KNIME workflow that was applied to quantify tg:mcherry fluorescence in transgenic embryos.

The region of the thyroid gland (tg) was selected by manually drawing a rectangle on the appropriate autofocus or Z-stack images after background removal (A, corresponding bright field image shown in B). The thyroid gland was automatically detected and converted to a label, (C) The label was overlaid onto the original image (D) and used to calculate the sum of pixels. tg–area with thyroid follicles, ba–branchial arches, m–mouth.
