Dear List,

Another simple question on the acquisition.

Which image acquisition software (if not, then ... Let's be patient ...
Image Analysis software) is the most-user friendly, broad and flexible in
terms of image histogram analysis and display, with an exceptionally
"attractive" GUI interface!, including user-defined, multi-ROI background
subtraction - or highly accurate automatic background detection/subtraction,
manual and automatic thresholding, automatic means, stdev, st_error,
histogram export options and so on ... 

I do not mention at this point 'subimage, subpixel image registration', but
it could be exciting to learn if there are some recent additions to image
analysis software(s) that include the latter option.

A little hint - zero point is OpenLab (primitive histograms, lengthy, time
consuming manual work), next, slightly better option is Volocity but a kind
of user-unfriendly and flexibility remains in "a sweet dream territory". 

Very much thankful in advance,

Vitaly

We use Compix which is now part of Hamamatsu. It is now being marketed as 
HC Image. http://sales.hamamatsu.com/index.php?id=13224248
