(kitware version)
- ImageJ - ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program
inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh.
- Image SXM - (mac) 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 image
- IMOD - a set of image processing, modeling and display
programs used for tomographic reconstruction and for 3D reconstruction of EM serial sections and optical
sections.
- ITK - NLM Insight segmentation and registration toolkit.
- MESA-3D - Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL
specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
- microManager - Open Source software package for imaging and
control of automated microscopes on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).
- NIH Image - NIH Image is a public domain image
processing and analysis program for the Macintosh.
- OpenDX - a package for the visualization of scientific,
engineering and analytical data
- OsiriX - DICOM and other formats (LSM,BioRadPIC, TIff,
ANALYZE, PNG, JPG, PDF, QT, AVI, MPG, MPG4) viewer for macs.
- ParaView (Parallel Visualization Application)
ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform application designed to visualize data sets of size varying from
small to very large.
- POV-RAY - The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer creates
three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray-tracing. It reads in a text
file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that
scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file.
- PRIISM/IVE - a collection of tools for processing,
analyzing, and visualizing multidimensional imagery with a focus on 3D wide-field optical microscopy and EM
tomography.
- 3DSlicer - a multi-platform, free open source software (FOSS) for
visualization and image computing. The platform provides functionality for segmentation, registration and
three-dimensional visualization of multi-modal image data, as well as advanced image analysis algorithms for
diffusion tensor imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging and image-guided therapy. Standard image file
formats are supported, and the application integrates interface capabilities to biomedical research software
and image informatics frameworks.
- SPIDER - SPIDER
(System for Processing Image Data from Electron microscopy and Related fields) is an image processing system
for electron microscopy.
- VTK (Kitware)
- Xmipp - "X-Window-based Microscopy Image Processing Package", (J.
Struct. Biol. 148, 194-204) is a suite of image processing programs, primarily aimed at single-particle 3D
electron microscopy.
