Image Analysis
The CECAD Imaging Facility advises researchers on how to get the information of interest out of their images. For this purpose, we offer two strategies:
- Application of existing image analysis software
For many bioimage-related problems a variety of image analysis tools already exists. We support users in the choice of tools and methods that best fit their needs. - Development of novel image analysis approaches
In case no appropriate method exists, we can develop tailored image analysis algorithms. These long-term projects are done in a collaboration approach together with the imaging facility. - We offer dedicated analysis and processing software on a dedicated analysis station.
The following software packages are available in the facility:
