loading . mat file and displaying it using imagesc?

Import the data acquired from a fluorescence CCD camera called 06.mat Then perform the following:display with function imagesc(). I have no idea why I am not able to get the imagesc to work right with my .mat file.I feel like this should be a simple thing to do but I am struggling.... Can anyone help please???

Z = load('06.mat');
figure(1)
imagesc(Z)

Well, we don't know what 'not able to get imagesc to work right' means? Do you get an error? A blank image? The wrong image? Something else?

The output of the load function is a struct though, so you can't pass that directly to imagesc. At a guess I would imagine that is the problem you are having.

There should be a field on Z which contains your image. Pass that to imagesc instead

e.g.

imagesc( Z.someFieldName )

I see what you are saying. I have tried running it with imagesc( Z.someFieldName ) and it is now giving me an error saying "Invalid expression. Check for missing or extra characters." ??
