Sending Images for MARCO Training

ROCK MAKER enables you to manually or automatically send images for MARCO training through the Send images for MARCO training and improvement option in the General Setup, as shown in this tutorial. Once you have already opted in to help improve the MARCO image scoring algorithms, ROCK MAKER will randomly select a certain number of images and automatically send them to FORMULATRIX. You can also manually send images to improve MARCO by using the Send for Training button. The images will then be used to help retrain MARCO in order to improve its visible light accuracy and also make it more versatile; i.e., allow MARCO to score non-visible light path images as well. To learn how to enable the Send for Training button, see the tutorial below.

Note: When collecting images for MARCO improvement, only the raw images will be sent. We will not be collecting any discernible information on the experiment, protein, or well conditions.
