  1. Summing across all array-sections in the four experiments, we list the total numbers of beads (as decoded by Illumina), the numbers we remove as being in spatial artefacts using BASH [19], those removed as being outliers in the summarization, the remainders, and the numbers remaining that lie in the analysis-group of bead-types.
