PC Image Analysis Software

3D Doctor

3D-DOCTOR creates 3D surface and volume rendering from 2D cross-section images. The software's vector-based tools support easy image data handling, measurement and analysis.

3D Volume Rendering

Volsuite and Voxx are 3D volume rendering software packages which take image stacks and render them into three dimensional volumes. Both packages rely on commonly available, but specific types of video graphics cards to perform real-time rendering. Volsuite is a product of the Ohio Supercomputer center and be freely downloaded from here. Voxx which was developed at Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy can be downloaded from here.

AutoDeblur Image Deconvolution

A blind deconvolution method of removing out-of-focus haze from 2D confocal and wide-field images stacks to produce deblurred 3D projections.

Image Processing Toolkit

General purpose image processing tools running under Photoshop.

Zeiss Image Display Tools

Zeiss provides software tools to permit displaying and limited analysis of images acquired on their Confocal and wide-field microscope systems. Image Browser will load and display lsm type confocal image stacks and can be downloaded from the Zeiss Microscopy website or users can contact the Director for access to the software. Axiovision LE loads and displays images acquired on the Axioimager wide-field fluorescence microscope can also be downloaded from the Zeiss website or obtained from the Director.

ImageJ 

General purpose image analysis and processing of wide-field and confocal images. Free download from NIH web site including many plugins which add functionality. Also see the McMaster Biophotonics Facility website for online documentation.

Quantity One

Control acquisition of Gel-Doc, Imaging Densitometry and Phosphoimagers.  Analyze gel profiles and band densities.
