// shows how this full size cursor can be used to "multipoint " a panel of 4
// microscopic images of the same field in fluorescence mode. The example panel
// contains a triple lableling of cloned myoblast cells (mouse). From the left t
o right; the red
// channel (red fluorescence), the green channel (green fluorescence), the blue
channel
// (blue fluorescence,hoechst), and the composite images of the three channels.

// The number of cursors can be changed by double clicking on
// the tool icon and the cursor coordinates and section are displayed
// when the "1" key is pressed on the numeric keypad.
