Fluorescence Software Products
All software packages allow images to be captured over time; often with a series of illumination and detection wavelengths, producing two dimensional image stacks. By adding a motorised X-Y stage and Z focussing device the image stacks can be extended into five dimensions. A typical software platform will give precise control of a camera along with any auxiliary shutters, filter wheels, light sources, or microscope stages needed to define the experiment. The programs will also provide general and in some case quite specialist Region Of Interest and image analysis functions.
We can recommend all of the products listed below for certain applications; please call or email us with your requirements and we will advise.
OptoMorph and OptoFluor
Combining the most flexible and powerful tools for image acquisition, processing, and analysis, these imaging systems offer a complete solution for even the most demanding live-cell imaging needs. The OptoMorph and OptoFluor packages are bespoke solutions based on MetaMorph and bundled for Cairn.
Andor iQ
Andor iQ is a live cell imaging software, designed with flexibility and power in mind.
Neuro(Cardio)Plex
Neuro(Cardio)Plex is a comprehensive and user friendly software package for data acquisition and analysis of optical imaging experiments.
Ion Wizard
IonWizard integrates the presentation of fluorescence traces and images, analog voltages, and cell length data under an intuitive interface. It analyzes raw data by performing ratio, ion, or linear calibration calculations.
MicroManager
μManager is a software package for control of automated microscopes. It lets you execute common microscope image acquisition strategies such as time-lapses, multi-channel imaging, z-stacks, and combinations thereof. μManager works with microscopes from all four major manufacturers.
ImageJ
An all purpose image analysis software package that allows users to analyse and edit images. Processing images as stacks allows users to display related images in a single window, and edit using a single command.
Strathclyde Fluorescence Imaging Software
The WinFluor Strathclyde Imaging Software package is a suite of programs for acquiring and analysing fluorescence images from confocal or camera-based systems. The programs run under Microsoft Windows.
