You can overlay multiple fluorescence images to get a full color result, manipulate filter wheels, stage and Z-axis motors, control cameras and video frame grabbers. We also have 3-d acquisition and analysis capabilities, mathematical image manipulation, and numerous other image vizualization, processing, enhancement and analysis tools. It is, however, NOT free. IPLab Spectrum sells for $1800. Add-on Extension modules for FISH, Ca++ Ratio, 3D, deconvolution, etc. are available for $500 to $6500. Check out our web site <www.iplab.com/sac> and contact me if you are interested. I'd be happy to send you more information and pricing.
