1. A method for acquisition, storage, and retrieval of cell screening data on a computer system, comprising the steps of: a) providing a plate containing wells, wherein the wells comprise cells; b) storing input parameters used for screening of the plate in a computer system database; c) repeating steps (i)-(ix) for a desired number of wells: i) selecting an individual well on the plate, ii) collecting subcellular image data from the cells in the well, iii) storing the subcellular image data in the computer system database, iv) collecting feature data from the subcellular image data, v) storing the feature data in the computer system database, vi) calculating well summary data using the subcellular image data and the feature data collected from the well; vii) storing the well summary data in the computer system database; viii) calculating plate summary data using the well summary data from the computer system database; and ix) storing the plate summary data in the computer system database; wherein the subcellular image data, the feature data, the well summary data, and the plate summary data can be retrieved from the computer system database.
