Protein localization,dendritic skeletonization, and 3-D morphometric
analysis are important steps in the process of characterizing neural cells.
Bitplane's software suite is well-suited for obtaining these types of
data and it has certainly been a valuable addition to our assortment
of image analysis tools at NCMIR.

The National Center for
Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR) is a federally funded research facility
dedicated to advancing three-dimensional microscopy and imaging of biological
materials.Technology development at the NCMIR focuses on three core areas:
1. Specimen development for IVEM and
correlated light and electron microscopy,including cryomicroscopy
2. Enhancement of the microscope, computer control, and automation
3. Software development for computer-aided image processing
and analysis
In addition to technology development, the NCMIR supports an active biological research program
involving research staff, collaborators and outside researchers. The facilities are available to
extramurally-funded researchers in the biological sciences interested in using these technologies
to investigate the three-dimensional structure of tissues, cells and macromolecular complexes. |
