In response to your post, please be aware that Compix Inc., Imaging Systems provide image analysis and processing software (SimplePCI), that will meet your needs. The software is 32-bit and runs under Windows NT and 95. Benefiting from the enhanced processing feature of the Intel MMX technology, SimplePCI offers highs speed image processing. Support is included for a wide range of video and digital cameras up to 16-bit monochrome and 48-bit color. Also, full control is available for automatic XYZ stages, filter wheels, shutters, tunable monochromator, tunable liquid crystals and RGB filters. SimplePCI is the imaging system behind the successful Nikon PCM 2000 confocal microscope. The system is available with single or dual monitor display (dual-one for the menu and one for full resolution images). There is a module available for automatic fluorescence protein time lapse and replay as well as calcium imaging.

It will be used for a multi-user facility and primarily for low level fluorescent imaging. Calcium imaging is not a primary concern, though it may be needed in the future. I posted a message last week regarding Image Pro Plus and "SlideBook". Now I am asking more general recommendation regarding this type of software. Any comments will be helpful. I am sorry to bug everyone twice about this. More specifically, any one has any experience, comments about Metamorph from Universal Imaging Corp? Thanks in advance. If you think it is not generally interesting, please send it directly to me.
