Compared to Make montage, the plugin adds more flexibility to montage creation: Easy-to-design interactive figure layout. Visually assign image content to panels. High-quality image scaling and rotation. Easy and consistent panel labels and scale bars. Each panel has it's original data source's properties and tracks achieved image processing. Save and re-open editable figures. Export as standard image formats with textual description of each panel history. 

Vaa3D is a handy, fast, and versatile 3D/4D/5D Image Visualization and Analysis System for Bioimages and Surface Objects. It also provides many unique functions that you may not find in other software. It is Open Source, and supports a very simple and powerful plugin interface and thus can be extended and enhanced easily.

Vaa3D is cross-platform (Mac, Linux, and Windows). This software suite is powerful for visualizing large- or massive-scale (giga-voxels and even tera-voxels) 3D image stacks and various surface data. Vaa3D is also a container of powerful modules for 3D image analysis (cell segmentation, neuron tracing, brain registration, annotation, quantitative measurement and statistics, etc) and data management. This makes Vaa3D suitable for various bioimage informatics applications, and a nice platform to develop new 3D image analysis algorithms for high-throughput processing. In short, Vaa3D streamlines the workflow of visualization-assisted analysis.

Vaa3D can render 5D (spatial-temporal) data directly in 3D volume-rendering mode; it supports convenient and interactive local and global 3D views at different scales... it comes with a number of plugins and toolboxes. Importantly, you can now write your own plugins to take advantage of the Vaa3D platform, possibly within minutes!

WormGUIDES Atlas is an interactive 4D portrayal of neural development in C. elegans. It will ultimately contain nuclear positions for every cell in the embryo, identified and tracked from the 2 cell stage until hatching. Single-cell and subcellular information, including neural outgrowth dynamics for each cell as well as cell function, gene expression, the adult neural connectome and related literature will be collated for each cell from public sources and also integrated with the atlas model. WormGUIDES Atlas integrates tools for exploratory data analyses and insight sharing. Navigation is linked between 3D and lineage tree views. In both contexts, community single cell information can be accessed with a click, creating live web queries that summarize knowledge about a cell. In many cases this information can be used to control cell color, creating customized interactive visualizations. A user's insights can be annotated directly into the embryo model with a note-taking interface that attaches each annotation to a cell or other point in space and time. These multi-dimensionally located notes can then be ordered into a (chrono)logical story sequence that explains developmental events as they unfold in the embryo. Annotations can be saved and shared with collaborators or the community.

QuantCenter is the framework for 3DHISTECH image analysis applications. with the goal of helping the pathologists to diagnose in an easier way. QuantCenter, is optimized for whole slide quantification. It has a linkable algorithm concept that tries to provide an easy-to-use and logical workflow. The user has different quantification modules that he or she could link one after other to fine-tune or to speed up the analysis.

Image-processing algorithms developed at the MOSAIC Group for fluorescence microscopy. Tools included:

• 2D/3D single-particle tracking tool which can be used to track bright spots in 2D/3D movies over time.
• Optimal filament segmentation of 2D images. 
• Curvature filters for image filtering, denoising, and restoration. 
• Image naturalization for image enhancement based on gradient statistics of natural-scence images. 
• Tool for automatically send and distribute jobs on clusters and get back the results.
• Multi-region image segmentation of 2D and 3D images without needing to know the number of regions beforehand. 
• Squassh for globally optimal segmentation of piecewise constant regions in 2D and 3D images and for object-based co-localization analysis. 
• Tool for inferring spatial interactions between patterns of objects in images or between coordinates read from a file.
• Tool for robust, histogram-based background subtraction well suited to correct for inhomogeneous illumination artifacts.
• A tool to estimate the Point-Spread Function of the microscopy out of 2D fluorescence images.
• A tool to measure the 3D Point-Spread Function of a confocal microscope from an image stack.
• Addition of synthetic Poisson-distributed noise to an image in order to simulate shot noise of various signal-to-noise ratios. 
• Convolution of an image with a Bessel function in order to simulate imaging with a microscope. 
• A utility to detect bright spots in images and estimate their center. 
• A utility to create manual segmentations to be used as ground truth to test and benchmark automatic segmentation algorithms.
• A tool for replacing one color in an image with another color.
