A mouse click (left button) into chemical maps results in the following events ('show mode' is active):
- an IR or Raman spectrum with the (x,y) coordinates of the mouse pointer is displayed in the left (spectral) panel,
- the pixel coordinates of the active spectrum appear in editable text boxes, and
- information of how the spectral map was produced is displayed in the field between both panels (see also chapter
Main Window - Basics Concepts.)

Chemical Movie
The function 'chemical movie' can be used to play an animation of chemical images, or frequency slices. With this function the
system automatically steps through a range of frequency values, facilitating judgement of the spatial distribution patterns of individual
spectral modes. Chemical images are generated by using option 'B' of the function
chemical imaging.

increment [in wvs]: This allows to modify the the step size, in wavenumber unit steps (wvs), between frequency slices. If a value of '1' is indicated the step size of the animation will be 1 * 'wvs', with wvs being the wavenumber step (the point spacing between two frequency slices, see
WVS - wavenumber step). The default value for
'increment' is '4'.
Frequency Imaging
Frequency imaging: This function permits visualization of peak positions, and their variations, within hyperspectral maps.
Band positions - either maxima or minima - are obtained and plotted as a function of the spatial coordinates.
Band positions can be obtained from all types of data blocks, including also derivative spectra (for details refer to chapter
Internal Data Organization).
Two different methods of the 'frequency map' routine are available: Peak maxima/minima can be obtained from spectra contained
in one of the four data blocks, or for overlapping bands from second derivative data blocks (this may also be second derivatives from
spectra of the derivative data block!).
The use of second derivatives for peak picking may be useful for the detection of peaks in the presence of strongly overlapping signals,
i.e. when the band is only a small shoulder on a strong signal. To some extent 2nd derivatives compensate also for baseline effects.
Derivatives should be used with care as noise is considerably amplified.
The algorithm of the peak picking routine works as follows:
A. If the option 'obtain peak positions from derivatives' was NOT selected:
1. Spectra of the data block of your choice (see option 'use data block') are interpolated. For interpolation, the
spline method is used. Interpolation is carried out in the frequency range indicated in the edit fields 'select spectral region
for peak search'. Furthermore, a factor of interpolation can be selected. This factor indicates how many times the number of
data points will be increased by interpolation (only in the spectral region selected for peak picking).
2. If the option 'search maxima' was checked, the algorithm is then searching for the x-positions (frequencies) of the
maxima within the spectral region indicated by the user. If minima are chosen, the program is searching for minima. IMPORTANT: If
band positions are obtained from the data block of derivate spectra, maxima appear in second derivative spectra as minima and vice
versa. There is no check for i) the order of the derivative and consequently ii), no compensation for the inversion of maxima and
minima!
3. The frequency values of the maxima/minima are color scaled and plotted as a function of the spatial coordinates. If you
wish to further analyze the band positions by other programs you can access the data matrix of frequency values by using the
Export Maps function.
B. The option 'obtain peak positions from derivatives' was checked:
1. Second derivative spectra from the data block of your choice (see option 'use data block') are calculated
by applying the Savitzky-Golay algorithm with 5 smoothing points (see also chapter
Calculation of Derivative Spectra).
2. Derivative spectra are interpolated. For interpolation, the spline method is used. Interpolation is carried out in the
frequency range indicated in the edit fields 'select spectral region for peak search'. Furthermore, a factor of
interpolation can be selected. This factor indicates how many times the number of data points will be increased upon interpolation
in the spectral region selected for peak picking.
3. If the option 'search maxima' was checked, the algorithm is then searching for the x-positions (frequencies)
of the maxima within the spectral region indicated by the user. If minima are chosen, the program is searching for minima.
IMPORTANT: If band positions are obtained from the data block of derivate spectra, maxima appear in second derivative spectra
as minima and vice versa. There is no check for i) the order of the derivative and consequently ii) no compensation for the
inversion of maxima and minima!
4. The frequency values of the maxima/minima are color scaled and plotted as a function of the spatial coordinates.

FWHM Imaging
FWHM imaging: This is a new function of CytoSpec version 2.00.05 (Feb 2018). Suitable to create pseudo-color images based on the
full width at half maximum (FWHM) of vibrational bands. The function requires the presence of a band in a given spectral interval,
ideally in all spectra.

interpolation factor: this factor indicates how many times the number of data points will be increased by interpolation. Interpolation is performed in the spectral region indicated and is helpful to improve the numerical accuracy when calculating the fwhm values. |
