===Signal assessment===
*Manual (Morphology) vs. automated (Speed) counting.
*Choice of proper chromogen.
**Dynamic range of DAB is 1-2logs vs. fluorescent probes 2-3logs.
**Protein expression range can be up to 4 logs in gene amplification (information is missed in IHC).
**FastRed stains are more suited in melanocytic tumors than DAB.
*Use of established cutoffs for "intensity" and for "positive" staining.
*Visual pattern recogniton vs. detecting spatial subtle changes.
*Detecting differences at low intensity with human eye is less accurate.
