Fluorescence  Microscopy time-lapse analysis made easy

  Image Analyst MKII is a microscopy image analysis platform to visualize and measure biological parameters. Typical workflows include graphing time-lapse image data and high content analysis.  Image Analyst MKII is ideal for processing recordings with complexity ranging from single frames to multi-dimensional data sets.

  • Interactive time lapse analysis for ion concentrations and membrane potentials.
  • Automated microplate-based analysis for cytometry and high content analysis.
  • Pipeline-based analysis of native image formats without intermediate image data accumulated.
  • Biologically decoded presentation of analysis
  • Organize technical and experimental replicates straight in Graphpad Prism or in Microsoft Excel.

Interactive analysis protocols

   Image analysis cannot be simpler than using our interactive protocols. Biologists new to microscopic image analysis can get to routine quickly by clicking each step and watching the application performing the analysis. Ready-to-go interactive analysis protocols included for cell counting, cytometry, histometry, intensity and ratio time courses and more ...

Interactive protocol
Fluorescence microscopy and mitochndrial assays

Cell and mitochondrial
physiology and cytometry assays

   Image Analyst MKII supports a range of fluorescence and bright field microscopic assays by generic protocols for data recording on typical microscopy systems and specific analysis protocols ranging from cell counting to ion concentrations, potentials and motility, using pre-configured pipelines accessible from interactive assay protocols or by menu selection. Analysis pipelines are applicable to wide field (epi-) fluorescence, confocal and two-photon microscopy.

Mitochondrial membrane potential assay
Mitochondrial membrane potential
measurment in absolute millivolts

   Turn fluorescence recordings of potentiometric probes straight into time courses of millivolt values. Image Analyst MKII provides the mitochondrial membrane potential measurement technology developed by Akos Gerencser and colleagues ( 17). This is supported by protocols for image acquisition, and an interactive protocol for image and data processing using the intuitive Membrane Potential Calibration Wizard dialog.

Pipeline automation of fluorescence microscopy image analysis

Automate image analysis
with simple pipeline design

   Over a hundred functions can be automated by simple, drag-and-drop, flowchart based pipelines. 118 built-in, menu-accessible pipelines support many basic and advanced image processing tasks and a variety of biological applications. Routine pipeline usage is greatly simplified by using pipeline parameters to control key image processing functions within the pipeline. For basic use, the user sees only these key parameters, but all built-in pipelines can be edited and arbitrarily modified.
