Sam's instruction from the brainstorming session: first, look for papers that have quantified or measured biofilms from phase contrast images. Phase contrast is the first approach because it is the most accessible imaging modality.
If we find papers doing this, we follow their lead. If nobody has done it (which would itself be interesting), then we shift to measuring from fluorescence images instead. This search sets the entire data strategy for the paper.
