The Incucyte® Base Analysis Software provides a guided interface and purpose-built tools, which include the process of acquiring, viewing, analyzing and sharing images of living cells.

Relate is a correlative software package optimised to work with EM, EDS, EBSD, & AFM data and images.  It provides the tools you need to correlate data from different microscopes, visualise multi-layered data in 2D and 3D, and conduct correlative analyses.

• Combining data from different imaging modalities (e.g. AFM, EDS & EBSD)

• Interactive display of multi-layer correlated data

• Analytical tools for metadata interrogation

• Documented workflows and processes

Correlate

• Import data from AZtec using the H5oina file format
• Import AFM data
• Correlate both sets of data using intuitive image overlays and image matching tools
• Produce combined multimodal datasets

Visualise

• 2D display of multi-layered data
• 3D visualisation of topography combined with AFM material properties, EM images, and EDS & EBSD map overlays
• Customisation of colour palettes, data overlays, image rendering options, and document display
• Export images and animations

Analyse

• Generate profile (cross section) views of multimodal data
• Measure and quantify data across multiple layers
• Analyse areas via data thresholding using amount of x-ray counts, phase maps, height, or other material properties.
• Select an extensive range of measurement parameters
• Export analytical data to text or CSV files

SMLM is a mature but still growing field, which still lacks efficient and user-friendly analysis and visualization software platform adapted for both users and developers. We here introduce PoCA, a powerful open-source software platform dedicated to the visualization and analysis of 2D and 3D point-cloud data. PoCA allows manipulating large datasets, and integrates a plugin architecture, a native batch analysis engine and a Python code interpreter, facilitating both the analysis of data and the integration of new methods.

ModularImageAnalysis (MIA) is an ImageJ plugin which provides a modular framework for assembling image and object analysis workflows. Detected objects can be transformed, filtered, measured and related. Analysis workflows are batch-enabled by default, allowing easy processing of high-content datasets.

MIA is designed for “out-of-the-box” compatibility with spatially-calibrated 5D images, yielding measurements in both pixel and physical units.  Functionality can be extended both internally, via integration with SciJava’s scripting interface, and externally, with Java modules that extend the MIA framework. Both have full access to all objects and images in the analysis workspace.

Workflows are, by default, compatible with batch processing multiple files within a single folder. Thanks to Bio-Formats, MIA has native support for multi-series image formats such as Leica .lif and Nikon .nd2.

Workflows can be automated from initial image loading through processing, object detection, measurement extraction, visualisation, and data exporting. MIA includes near 200 modules integrated with key ImageJ plugins such as Bio-Formats, TrackMate and Weka Trainable Segmentation.

Module(s) can be turned on/off dynamically in response to factors such as availability of images and objects, user inputs and measurement-based filters. Switches can also be added to “processing view” for easy workflow control.

MIA is developed in the Wolfson Bioimaging Facility at the University of Bristol.

ASTEC stands for Adaptive Segmentation and Tracking of Embryonic Cells. It proposes a full workflow for time lapse light sheet imaging analysis, including drift/motion compensation before the segmentation itself, and the capacity to correct for it.  It was used to process 3D+t movies acquired by the MuViSPIM light-sheet microscope in particular.
