LibTIFF - TIFF Library and Utilities. This software provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF), a widely used format for storing image data. libtiff is a library, for reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple manipulations of TIFF images.

Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

Manual tracking using Trackmate plugin (comes with FIji, so no installation required if you are using Fiji). 

The freely available software module below is a 3D LoG filter. It applies a LoG (Laplacian of Gaussian or Mexican Hat) filter to a 2D image or to 3D volume. Here, we have a fast implementation. It is a perfect tool to enhance spots, like spherical particles, in noisy images. This module is easy to tune, only by selecting the standard deviations in X, Y and Z directions.

This note presents the design of a scalable software package named ImagePy for analysing biological images. Our contribution is concentrated on facilitating extensibility and interoperability of the software through decoupling the data model from the user interface. Especially with assistance from the Python ecosystem, this software framework makes modern computer algorithms easier to be applied in bioimage analysis.
