Description
The MetaMorph Premier Image Analysis package is a powerful, full-featured program that permits a number of image processing applications. Advanced visualization and quantification tools are integrated in the software, thereby permitting easy cell counting, particle tracking, 3D reconstruction, and measurements of morphometry and colocalization. A dedicated FRET module has proven popular in published studies, and specialized add-ons installed include the Angiogenesis Tube Formation, Cell Cycle, Cell Scoring, Count Nuclei, Multi Wavelength Cell Scoring, and Neurite Outgrowth apps.
MetaMorph is accessible via a dedicated 64-bit PC workstation that is currently housed in the microscope facility.
