Fluorescence microscopy

Identify objects (as nuclei) within an image without needing the assistance of another cellular feature (as cell). 

Volocity Visualization is designed to provide rapid, interactive, high resolution volume rendering of multi-channel 3D and 4D data sets. This Volocity product puts you in control of the way that you view your 3D data, offering a choice of rendering methods so that you can achieve the best results.  A range of file formats can be imported from  wide field and confocal microscopes, and snapshots and movies can be created quickly and easily to share and publish.

The Sholl technique is used to describe neuronal arbors. This plugin can perform Sholl directly on 2D and 3D grayscale images of isolated neurons. Its internal algorithm to collect data is based upon how Sholl analysis is done by hand — it creates a series of concentric shells (circles or spheres) around the focus of a neuronal arbor, and counts how many times connected voxels defining the arbor intersect the sampling shells. The major advantages of this plugin over other implementations are:

• When analyzing images directly, it does not require previous tracing of the arbor (although it can also analyze traced arbors)
• It combines curve fitting with several methods to automatically retrieve quantitative descriptors from sampled data, which allows direct statistical comparisons between arbors
• It allows continuous and repeated sampling around user-defined foci
• It allows batch processing
