microManager 2.0.0 – ImageJ Plugin of Imaging & Control of Automated Microscopes

microManager 2.0.0

:: DESCRIPTION

microManager (also called μManager) is a ImageJ Plugin 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 (Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss), most scientific-grade cameras and many peripherals (stages, filter wheels, shutters, etc.) used in microscope imaging.

Vcellid 0.4 /CellID 1.4.6 / Rcell 1.1-8 – Microscope-Based Cytometry Cell-finding, Tracking & Analysis

Vcellid 0.4 /CellID 1.4.6 / Rcell 1.1-8

:: DESCRIPTION

Cell-ID is an open-source cell-finding, tracking, and analysis package using microscope based cytometry. Cell-ID have been used  to track cells through time courses of cells containing fluorescent reporters, reporters of fluorescence translocation , and FRET reporters.

Vcellid is a graphic user interface for the Cell-ID software developed by Andrew Gordon. It was originally designed to provide a rapid visual feedback of the effects of different segmentation parameter values, and to ease the analysis of cell-tracking time course experiments.

Rcell is an R package for data analysis of Cell-ID output.
