Image Analysis

Scientific imaging consists of three steps, each of which contribute equally to the accomplishment of an experiment and the generation of scientific data: (i) sample preparation, (ii) image acquisition, and (iii) image processing and analysis. The effect of the last point is often overlooked, because often people misunderstand scientific imaging tools as photo cameras rather than measurement devices.

We at MIC offer you a variety of possibilities to get the most out of your data. First, you can use our PC and Linux workstations to analyse your data. These workstations are equipped with both manufacturer software from the microscope companies as well as image processing and analysis software (e.g., Imaris, MATLAB, Photoshop, FIJI) which MIC users can use for free. Second, you can get a training on the above mentioned software or alternatively participate in an Image Analysis course offered by MIC's highly professional staff. Third, you can hire MIC's technical personnel in order to do the analysis for you. Forth, for larger projects, you can collaborate with our Image Processing Group in order to custom design programme code for your image analysis problem.

With this set of possibilities, we are confident that we can offer you the right set of tools to extract quantitative data from your experiments.
