Extensions to IPLab

IPLab Windows is our image processing laboratory program. It handles image acquisition, processing, measurement, and analysis for ratiometric imaging, multiprobe fluorescence microscopy, bright and dark field microscopy, and 3D, real time, and time lapse imaging, all with live or fixed samples.

These extensions expand IPLab's abilities by adding powerful commands to the program's menus:

Ratio Plus: Enables you to acquire, process and analyze dual wavelength image data from fluorescently labeled cells for examining changing levels of intracellular Calcium ions and of pH. Ratio Plus enables you to perform ratiometric experiments using scientific-grade cameras and wavelength switching systems.

MultiProbe for Win: The MultiProbe extension expands IPLab/Win's fluorescence microscopy functionality for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), colocalization experiments, and multiprobe imaging of GFP, CFP, YFP, and all other dyes.

Motion Control: The Motion Control extension allows IPLab to control motorized microscope hardware, letting you automate your experiments. In addition, Motion Control acquires, processes, and analyzes images from multi-well/microtiter plates, tissue arrays, live-cell assays, live/dead assays, and others.

Shutters & Filters: If you don't want the full Motion Control package, the Shutters & Filters package of extensions automates your shutters, filter wheels, and other wavelength switching devices, and lets you send tailor-made serial or parallel commands. The Shutters & Filters extension lets you automate motorized filter switchers and shutters without requiring the entire Motion Control package. "Filter switchers" include filter wheels, wavelength switchers using rotating gratings, and liquid crystal tunable filters.
