Resources
The following resources can be helpful in designing and implementing research as well as learning more about microscopy and microscope use.
Non-government Resources
| Bitplane |
Download the latest version of the software, get user manuals, or join the user news group. |
| Scientific Volume Imaging |
Locate information on point spread functions and on deconvolution. |
| Molecular Probes |
Locate information on antibodies and fluorochromes to be used for confocal or fluorescence microscopy. The entire Molecular Probes catalog is available online for browsing. |
| The Fluorescence Database |
Locate emission spectra for many labels and determine their suitability for experiments. |
| Zeiss |
Locate information on general microscopy as well as confocal microscopy. Download the Zeiss image browser for viewing images collected on Zeiss confocal microscopes. |
| Leica Systems, Confocal Microscopy |
In addition to product descriptions, download Leica Lite, the free image browser for images collected on Leica microscopes. |
Media Cybernetics
(the authors of Image Pro Plus) |
The discussion forums are particularly good places to find macros written by other Image Pro users. |
| Florida State University, Microscopy |
The virtual confocal microscope displays the effect that changing the setup of the microscope will have on the collected image. |
| Molecular Probes Labels |
Provides quick access to excitation and emission spectra for molecular probes labels. This is a quick way to determine if two dyes can be separated easily on fluorescence or confocal microscopes. |
