Image Analysis

Image Analysis

We have expertise in several cell analysis packages including open-source software ImageJ (NIH) and CellProfiler (Broad Institute) and proprietary software Columbus (Perkin Elmer) and Harmony (Perkin Elmer).

Harmony High-Content Imaging and Analysis Software

The Harmony high-content image analysis software is an advanced image analysis software designed for detailed quantitative phenotyping of cells in a population. It utilises a series of ‘building blocks’ to allow segmentation of cellular features and their subsequent analysis. Harmony is capable of working with three-dimensional confocal data and making volumetric and surface area measurements from such data sets.  

Features:

  • Custom design of image analysis solutions using graphical ‘building blocks’
  • Advanced segmentation of nuclei, cells, cytoplasm and other cellular structures
  • Quantification of cell and subcellular morphology features
  • Quantification of cell and subcellular intensity features
  • Quantification of cell and subcellular texture features
  • Quantification of 3D data (for example from spheroids or organoids)
  • Creation of stitched images from multiple fields-of-view
  • Machine learning and classification of complex phenotypes
  • Automated graphical representation of output data 

Zeiss Arivis Pro & Zeiss Zen Microscopy Software

High performance image analysis workstation running both Arivis and Zen image analysis software solutions. Software works with all image file types.

Features:

  • Constrained iterative deconvolution
  • Deblurring
  • Tracking of objects over time course experiments
  • Preparation of storyboard animations
  • Advanced segmentation of nuclei, cells, cytoplasm and other cellular structures
  • Quantification of cell and subcellular morphology features
  • Quantification of cell and subcellular intensity features
  • Machine learning and classification of complex phenotypes
  • Automated graphical representation of output data
