Software for Image Analysis

Voxx : Written by Jeff Clendenon and Jason Byars
A voxel-based (not surface-based) 3D imaging program capable of near real-time rendering of large microscopy data sets on inexpensive personal computers has been developed in the Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy. It was designed to use the low-cost (NVIDIA GeForce) 3D graphics processors found on video boards in many lab and office PCs, instead of the more expensive voxel processors or graphics workstations commonly used by others for voxel-based rendering. The program currently runs on Windows 98/NT/2000, with Apple MacOS and Linux ports underway.

Confocal Assistant (ver 4.02): Written by Todd Clark Brelje
A very neat and powerful program that reads Bio-Rad PIC images. It allows users to make format conversion, projection, movies, color encoding, montages, etc. Those who use Metamorph (Universal Imaging) will still find Confocal Assistant useful. It is a lot faster than Metamorph when you make projections. Best of all, it’s free!

ImageJ : From the NIH
A free image processing tool from the NIH. It has an extesive library of plugins.

You need it to convert your LSM images to Tiff format. If you have problem installing and have DAO related error messages, you may need the dao.zip fil

LCSlite：From Leica

ImageTool

Confocal Assistant
