DESCRIPTION

Image SXM is a version of the public domain image analysis software NIH Image that has been extended to handle the loading, display and analysis of scanning microscope images. Image SXM supports SAM, SCM, SEM, SFM, SLM, SNOM, SPM and STM images from the following systems:

  • Burleigh Instruments
  • Digital Instruments NanoScope II/III/IV
  • DME Rasterscope/Surface Data File
  • Gatan DigitalMicrograph
  • JEOL JSM/WinSem/WinSPM
  • JPK Instruments
  • Klocke Nanotechnik Atomikro
  • Leica TCS
  • LEO SEM
  • Molecular Imaging PicoScan
  • Nanotec Electronica WSxM
  • Noran Instruments Vantage
  • NT-MDT
  • Omicron SCALA
  • Oxford Instruments TOPSystem
  • Park Scientific Instruments HFS-LIF/HDF
  • Philips SEM
  • Quesant Instruments
  • RHK Technology SPM-32
  • Seiko Instruments (SIINT) SPI
  • ThermoMicroscopes
  • TopoMetrix SPMLab
  • Unisoku
  • Vacuum Generators SAM
  • WA Technology
  • Zeiss LSM

 

In addition, the following non-SXM file formats are also supported:

  • AVI
  • Bio-Rad
  • BMP
  • FITS
  • Omicron SPA-LEED
  • PDSF
  • PDSS
  • Philips APD
  • SBIG CCD
  • SM-Camera
  • SPEC
  • Targa TGA
  • UBM
  • Wyko OPD

 

If users would like to see more file formats supported, then I am open to suggestions.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.89:
  • A new 'Microcirculation Analysis' item has been added to the Analyze/Specialist Analysis/Cell Analysis submenu. This calculates the speed of red blood cells imaged in videos of sublingual blood vessel networks. As for the other items in this submenu, effective use of this routine requires some background information.
  • A new 'Cornea Cell Analysis' item has been added to the Analyze/Specialist Analysis/Cell Analysis submenu. This calculates the size distribution of corneal cells and the mean, modal and median values.

Bug fixes:

  • Omicron Matrix SPM images would sometimes display with a LUT using less than 256 shades of grey.

Other changes:

  • The 'Skeletonize' command in the Process/Binary submenu now changes to 'Prune Skeleton' if the option key is pressed. This will prune all branches off a skeleton. See also 'Changes to macros'.
  • 'Show Histogram' changes to 'Show Smoothed Histogram' if the shift key is pressed. Note that the histogram is smoothed, not the image.
  • The 'Cell Analysis' submenu in the Analyze/Specialist Analysis submenu has been renamed 'MIASMA'

Changes to macros:

  • The macro command 'PruneSkeleton' has been added (see above).
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS 9 or later, Mac OS X 10.0 or later
RELATED LINKS
  • The need for software that can be customised to handle scanning microscopy images has been outlined in an article that I have written for the Royal Microscopical Society, entitled Software For Scanning Microscopy. It describes software packages that are available and outlines some of the customised features of Image SXM.
