Anjal,
All images are very nice presentations of the data. I guess I have to say that this version is one that might be most recognizable. I have to say that asthetically, I like the HOO version best.

Nice set of images. I agree with Jim on the aesthetics of the HOO. What about an HSO version? Also, how did you decide your color ratios with different times for the different channels? Or were they all normalized to 20 min? Since all of this is "false" color anyway, have you tried varying the ratios?

Hi Anjal,

Nice depiction of all the possible combinations! That's what's nice about narrow-band imaging - since you *know* it's false color, you get to pick and choose the color palette for either scientific or esthetic results. I like the HOO treatment best of your presentations here.
