Core Concepts
These explanations build a mental model of the microscopy domain, pipeline declarations, dimensions, processing patterns, and storage choices behind OpenHCS. Use the tutorial to learn by doing or a how-to guide when you already have a concrete task.
If you are new to high-content screening, begin with domain fundamentals. If you already know the biology, start with the core model and follow the links for the concept you need.
