Metamorph provides all tools needed to perform analysis of acquired images with user-friendly application modules for biology-specific analysis such as cell signaling, cell counting, and protein expression.

The Huygens Software Suite consists of different image processing packages with functionalities that include deconvolution, interactive analysis, and volume visualization of 2D-3D multi-channel and time series images from fluorescence microscopes such as widefield, confocal, multi-photon, spinning disk, Array Detector, STED, and Light Sheet

**Collaborative Annotation Toolkit for Massive Amounts of Image Data** CATMAID is a Collaborative Annotation Toolkit for Massive Amounts of Image Data. It is designed to navigate, share and collaboratively annotate massive image data sets of biological specimens. The interface is inspired by GoogleMaps, with which it shares basic navigation concepts, enhanced to allow the exploration of 3D biological image data acquired by optical or physical sectioning microscopy techniques.

Deconvolution software

Amira is 3D visualization and analysis software for life sciences.
 

" Amira software is a powerful, multifaceted 3D platform for visualizing, manipulating, and understanding life sciences data from computed tomography, microscopy, MRI, and many other imaging modalities. 
With incredible speed and flexibility, Amira software enables advanced 3D imaging workflows for specialists in research areas ranging from molecular and cellular biology to neuroscience and bioengineering. "

An ImageJ plugin for selecting a plane in focus among multiple slices image stack. The algorithm uses normalized variance. A short tutorial is available in the plugin web page (above).

Neuron studio is a software package to reconstruct neurons from 3D confocal images. Reconstruction can be done manually, semi-manually or fully automatic. The images as well as the detected objects are rendered in 3D. A spine detection and classification function is also included. Results can be exported as a text file with coords of the spines. It seems that active development has stopped in 2009.

The tool measures the total length of the microtubules in a 3D image.

The Arabidopsis Seedlings Tool allows to analyze the germination and seedling growth of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) in liquid culture. It measures the surface of green pixels per well in images containing multiple wells. It can be run in batch mode on a series of images. It writes a spreadsheet file with the measured area per well and saves a control image showing the green surface that has been detected per well. 

**Python(x,y)** is a free scientific and engineering development software for numerical computations, data analysis and data visualization based on Python programming language, Qt graphical user interfaces and Spyder interactive scientific development environment. Many python libraries related to numerical calculation are packaged, so you do not need to search and install them individually. Included libraries are listed **[here](https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/wiki/StandardPlugins).**

IMOD is a set of image processing, modeling and display programs used for tomographic reconstruction and for 3D reconstruction of EM serial sections and optical sections. The package contains tools for assembling and aligning data within multiple types and sizes of image stacks, viewing 3-D data from any orientation, and modeling and display of the image files.

MATLAB is famous, so this page is only for being the landing page for components and workflows.
