FIJI Syn_Bot Macro

At a neuronal synapse, presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals are ~50nm apart, and thus immunohistochemical staining of a protein from each compartment will give a colocalized signal due to the resolution limits of traditional fluorescence microscopy. This macro counts the number of colocalized synaptic puncta in fluorescence microscopy images.
