Summary

Deep learning-based segmentation of cells, both fluorescence, and bright-field images ("a generalist algorithm for cellular segmentation"). The tool can be used either online or local or via notebooks (e.g. ZeroCostDL4Mic).

How to use it

cellpose can be used online via ready-to-use Jyupyter notebooks with very good documentation. These notebooks are listed here.

Local Installation

The general local installation procedure can be found here.

... Installing to Silicon Mac (M1 processor) needs some tricks, and as of October 2021, the following sequence of commands works. numba should be conda-installed before pip-installing the cellpose.

conda create --name cellpose python=3.8
conda activate cellpose
conda install numba
git clone https://github.com/MouseLand/cellpose.git
cd cellpose
pip install -e .

VAST (Volume Annotation and Segmentation Tool) is a utility application for manual annotation of large EM stacks.

General labeling tool, used for a large variety of 3D data sets; electron-microscopic, multi-channel light-microscopic, and Micro-CT data sets as well as videos, and annotating arbitrary structures, regions and locations, depending on the user’s needs.

PSFj is a software tool that automatically analyses the full field-of-view (FOV) performance of a given fluorescence microscope/objective lens combination with respect to its optical resolution and chromatic aberrations. PSFj provides reporting functions to document the momentary performance of a system and it allows for the export of the obtained data, e.g. for image restoration purposes. PSFj is based on ImageJ and JAVA, and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs as a stand-alone application.

Epina ImageLab is a Microsoft Windows-based multisensor imaging tool for processing and analyzing hyperspectral images. It is a modular system consisting of a basic engine, a graphical user interface, a chemometrics toolbox and optional user-supplied modules. It supports the most important spectroscopic imaging techniques, such as UV/Vis, infrared, Raman, THz, optical emission/absorption, and mass spectrometry. On top of that Epina ImageLab enables the user to merge hyperspectral images with maps of physical properties and conventional high-resolution color photos. 

QuickFit 3 is a data evaluation software for FCS Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and imagingFCS (imFCS) measurements, developed in the group B040 (Prof. Jörg Langowski) at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). Actually QuickFit 3 itself is a project manager and all functionality is added as plugins. A set of tested plugins for FCS, imagingFCS and some microscopy-related image processing tasks is supplied together with the software.
