The same software we use to run most of the microscopes, this is also
an easy-to-use tool for routine data analysis.
- MATLAB - A popular commercial programming
language and interactive environment for data analysis. Useful links
to microscopy tools for Matlab are collected here.Note: this is available for all people at UCSF through and academic liscence from the school
- Huygens - Huygens is a powerful and easy to use deconvolution program.
- Slidebook - 3i commercial software package for image acquisition
and analysis.
