Runs 64-bit Windows 10 operating system. Software package details: Imaris - versions 7.3, 9.2 and 9.5 available. Imaris provides a user-friendly software package for resonstructing and analysing 3D images and movies. Our packages include animation creation, object identification, tracking, colocalisation and volumetric analyses. ImageJ - Fiji bundle of ImageJ to contain all the most useful plugins for bioimage analysis. This software is open source, but running through a workstation can enable you to work with larger image files and more demanding computations. Matlab - A programming desktop environment well-suited to image processing. Anaconda - A python and R distribution for more advanced analysis workflows ZEN - Software to access metadata and run basic analyses with Zeiss image file types Costs: Price per hour: £5 (free for facility users) Price O/N: n/a Contact details: Facility: CMR Advanced Bio-imaging Facility Campus: Charterhouse Square Address: Centre for Microvascular Research, William Harvey Research Institute, Charterhouse Square, EC1M 6BQ Manager: Dr Rebecca Saleeb Contact: 020 7882 3910
