**Knowledge Integration with New Technologies for Simplified User-Guided Image processing**

Multiplex image processing for challenging datasets with a focus on user integration
rather than automation. This pipeline includes 2D/3D GPU/CPU illumination correction,
stitching, deconvolution, extended depth of focus, registration, autofluorescence
removal, segmentation, clustering, and spatial analysis.
