Image Surfer v.1.27.

ImageSurfer is a software application used to view stacks of grayscale images, taken from a confocal microscope, as volumes. The user may choose different views--each offering a different interpretation of the data. In turn, the user may interact with the data as a three-dimensional volume or surface.

See the ImageSurfer web site for more instructions on downloading and using the software. A tutorial is available online.

New in ImageTracker 3.0 is the ability to apply numerous image filters as well as an improved multi-resolution optical flow implementation.

See the ImageTracker web page for more information, including a manual. There are two tutorials available online: Image Stabilization and Removal of Stationary Image Components

Microscope Simulator

  Microscope Simulator 2.0.0 for Intel MacOS X 10.5
» 53.4 MiB - 1,131 hits - August 6, 2010

Microscope Simulator version 2.0.0 enables a scientist to simulate what a given 3D scene should look like under a fluorescence microscope. 3D scenes can be constructed from primitives or imported files in VTK, OBJ, or PLY format. Once a 3D model has been created, you can provide the point spread function (PSF) for a given fluorescence microscope and view simulated fluorescence images.

Version 2.0.0 of the Microscope Simulator features a more intuitive user interface and a new multi-fluorophore optimization algorithm in the FluoroSim module.

For AFM simulation, please use an earlier version (1.3.1 and earlier) of Microscope Simulator.

» 42.6 MiB - 1,296 hits - September 17, 2009

The Microscope Simulator enables a scientist to simulate what a given 3D scene should look like under a fluorescence microscope or an atomic force microscope (AFM). 3D scenes can be constructed from primitives or imported files in VTK, OBJ, PLY, or UNCA format. Once a 3D model has been created, you can provide the point spread function (PSF) for a given fluorescence microscope and view simulated fluorescence images. In addition, you can specify the parameters of a simple AFM tip model and quicky generate a simulated AFM surface scan.

See the Microscope Simulator web page for more instructions on using the program. A tutorial is available online.

Clarity

  Clarity Deconvolution Library 1.0
» 137.3 KiB - 2,895 hits - December 14, 2008
Clarity is an open-source C/C++ library implementing many of the common deconvolution algorithms used in fluorescence microscopy. It is designed specifically for processing 3D images generated from optical sectioning. Clarity uses multithreaded algorithms to make full use of all the cores on modern multi-core computer systems. For even greater performance, the deconvolution algorithms can optionally run on commodity graphics processing units that feature hundreds of computing cores. Support for acceleration on graphics processing units is currently available on NVIDIA graphics cards.

A manual is available online.

The latest source code is available on GitHub.

WebSlinger

  setup_webslinger.4.0.1.msi
» 494.5 KiB - 2,458 hits - March 7, 2009

WebSlinger v. 4.0.0.

The WebSlinger program is used to simulate the deformation of a 2D web of masses connected by springs. The springs can be linear or nonlinear (with specified strain/force curves). The initial rest length and spring constant can be calculated based on the initial positions of the points and an initial strain estimate.

You can interact with the simulation by pulling on individual masses with the mouse. You can also set trajectories for one or more masses and compute the response of the other masses.

Chromatin Cutter

» 12.9 MiB - 36 hits - October 13, 2011

  CISMM_Chromatin_Cutter
» 21.3 MiB - 297 hits - May 19, 2011

This program simulates the distribution of DNA in a gel electrophoresis study of Yeast chromatin cut by enzymes. It lets you specify the fraction of nucleosomes that are unwrapped (wrapped ones have inaccessible DNA). It lets you specify the variance in the distribution of nucleosomes around their mean distance. It lets you specify the number of cuts per unit length (enzyme concentration). It plots the effects of these on the log number of base pairs, which matches the gel electrophoresis mass distribution. This provides a way to investigate whether features seen in the distribution are caused by nucleosome unwrapping or by nucleosome position variation.

Camera Calibration

  camera_calibration_2_0_1.zip
» 8.9 MiB - 60 hits - August 5, 2011
Camera-calibration program brought to you jointly by CISMM.org and Megawatt Solar, Inc. This tool lets you print out a 2D color pattern that uses red and green to form a grid and blue to identify the grid, so that by selecting a few boundary points and thresholds you can automatically determine the camera's intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. It uses Tsai's method (source code included) to do the calculations once it has selected the points.
