Hi confocalists, If you use or are thinking of using AVS to process Leica confocal output, I have some good news. After spending years running programs from the command line to manually convert 3D Leica datasets to AVS field files, I finally wrote a module to read the Leica data directly in. I would be happy to make it available for anyone who is interested, either as source code or binary (for the platforms I have access to.) Please e-mail me directly if you're interested. It will also eventually be available by ftp from the International AVS Center (avs.ncsc.org), but not yet. Details: The module parses the important values from the .info file, and reads from the images directly, w/o use of an any intemediate AVS .fld files. Real world dimensions have not been plugged in yet, but may be eventually. BTW, If you are using the AVS ray tracer you may still need the scalemat module to rescale the z-axis. (I can provide this too). -A.J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andy Jacobson <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> Dept. Pharmacology / Div.
