摘要

A method and apparatus for analyzing images is provided that uses a master composite image, generated by averaging selected images, to analyze and interpret an existing or new image. This significantly reduces the amount of time and operator effort required to interpret an image. The invention also provides for comparison between individual images. The present invention can be used for analyzing gel electrophoresis images to identify new proteins, and to compare gel images to identify changes in proteins.
