Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: matplotlib 3.8+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, scipy 1.12+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

• Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Quality Metrics

"Assess quality of my IMC acquisition" → Evaluate IMC data quality through signal-to-noise ratios, channel correlations, tissue integrity scores, and acquisition-specific QC metrics.

• Python: numpy/scipy for SNR calculation and channel correlation analysis
