Image SXM 189

Image SXM 189 is known as an extension 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 images from many  different systems.

Enhancements:

1. Added features:
   • A new 'Microcirculation Analysis' item has been added to the Analyze/Specialist Analysis/Cell Analysis submenu. This calculates the speed of red blood cells imaged in videos of sublingual blood vessel networks. As for the other items in this submenu, effective use of this routine requires some background information.
   • A new 'Cornea Cell Analysis' item has been added to the Analyze/Specialist Analysis/Cell Analysis submenu. This calculates the size distribution of corneal cells and the mean, modal and median values.
2. Bug fixes:
   • Omicron Matrix SPM images would sometimes display with a LUT using less than 256 shades of grey.
3. Other changes:
   • The 'Skeletonize' command in the Process/Binary submenu now changes to 'Prune Skeleton' if the option key is pressed. This will prune all branches off a skeleton. See also 'Changes to macros'.
   • 'Show Histogram' changes to 'Show Smoothed Histogram' if the shift key is pressed. Note that the histogram is smoothed, not the image.
   • The 'Cell Analysis' submenu in the Analyze/Specialist Analysis submenu has been renamed 'MIASMA'
4. Changes to macros:
   • The macro command 'PruneSkeleton' has been added
