For making digital pathology scans without a motorized microscope stage.

Microsoft Research has created an application which automatically combines multiple overlapping images together into a single seamless image. This software works with TIF, BMP, and JPEG images.

With ICE and an industrious summer student, you can recreate the results of the BIOQUANT Automated Imaging module and other digital pathology scanneras. ICE is designed to handle very very large images. Use BIQOUANT collect the images, then have ICE stitch them together automatically. You can load the exported BMP or JPEG digital slide for analysis with BIOQUANT.

Microsoft ICE runs on Windows.

Creates figures for publications using the BIOQUANT measurement tracings you see in the Overview window.

Inkscape is an open source project for editing scalable drawings, sometimes called vector graphics. Unlike image, these scalable drawings can be enlarged and shurnk without loss of detail.

The measurement tracings (topography) made in BIOQUANT can be exported to the SVG file format, which can be opened directly in Inkscape. From there, you can change colors, fill objects, add arrows, and add text labels.

Inkscape runs on Windows, Mac OSX, and Ubuntu.
