Colour Deconvolution

    TODO component: {"content"=>"sc.fiji:Colour\\_Deconvolution"} Similarly to the command Image › Color › RGB split , this plugin unmixes an RGB image produced by subtractive mixing (inks, histological dyes) into separate channels corresponding to up to 3 determined colors. This is useful e.g. to do pigment separation.
