The Virtual Microscope 6.2.2
The Virtual Microscope - supports interactive viewing of high-resolution, multi-dimensional datasets from various microscopes more>>
The Virtual Microscope is a tool that supports data from a Philips Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM), and a Fluorescence Light Microscope.
Interface Controls
The interface provides a simulation of our actual microscope interface(s). Controls common to all datasets include brightness, magnification (usually up to 1800x), navigation, measurement, and annotation. SEM samples include a contrast control, and some also include a focus control.
The navigation and magnification controls allow the user to explore any point of interest on the sample. This differs from other virtual microscopes that have been produced which provide only a few hot spots that can be magnified and explored.
Focus
The focus control is a real focal plane adjustment instead of a blurring of the image. Our automated data capture software (see below) allows us to capture an arbitrary number of focal planes. Thus, the focus control on the Virtual Microscope allows the user to glide through those planes interactively, bringing items closer and farther into focus. This is particularly useful with thick specimens viewed in the SEM.
Annotations
We have included a full set of specimen annotation tools so that experts and laypeople alike can mark up the datasets for future reference. These annotations are useful for teaching details about the data, as well as for allowing teachers to ask students to identify data features as homework. The annotations can be saved and reloaded as XML files.
Automated Data Collection
It can take thousands of images to fully describe a single specimen so that the user can explore any point at varying magnifications with multiple focal planes. As a result, some our datasets are many gigabytes (GB) in size. In order to accurately and sanely collect this data, we have written various software programs that automatically control the instruments.
The Bugscope Connection
The software for our SEM is based off of a work on a previous project called Bugscope. Bugscope is an online educational outreach project that provides real-time access to our SEM over the web so that school children can look at bugs from their own backyards.
We have leveraged the remote-control software we wrote for Bugscope into an automated data-collection package for the SEM. On the Light Microscope, we are using Openlab, and will be distributing our tiling scripts in case you have a similar system.
Specimen IDs
Each Virtual Microscope specimen gets its own unique specimen identification number. For those building new samples, click the button below to generate a new specimen ID. Generated IDs expire after two months, so dont grab one until you need it. When specimens are submitted, we will verify they have a valid ID automatically.
Crop QXP Images 1.0
Crop QXP Images - Crop images to their picture boxes in QuarkXPress more>>
You have the option to crop the original image or a duplicate. Each selected image will be opened in PhotoFlash, cropped, and re-imported into XPress maintaining previous scaling.
Sorry, this one is saved a read-only due to the fact that some of the routines were derived with some help from others and it is not fair to give away their code without asking them.

NIH Image 1.63
NIH Image is a public domain image processing and analysis program for the Macintosh more>>
Image can acquire, display, edit, enhance, analyze and animate images. It reads and writes TIFF, PICT, PICS and MacPaint files, providing compatibility with many other applications, including programs for scanning, processing, editing, publishing and analyzing images. It supports many standard image processing functions, including contrast enhancement, density profiling, smoothing, sharpening, edge detection, median filtering, and spatial convolution with user defined kernels.
Image can be used to measure area, mean, centroid, perimeter, etc. of user defined regions of interest. It also performs automated particle analysis and provides tools for measuring path lengths and angles. Spatial calibration is supported to provide real world area and length measurements. Density calibration can be done against radiation or optical density standards using user specified units. Results can be printed, exported to text files, or copied to the Clipboard.
A tool palette supports editing of color and gray scale images, including the ability to draw lines, rectangles and text. It can flip, rotate, invert and scale selections. It supports multiple windows and 8 levels of magnification. All editing, filtering, and measurement functions operate at any level of magnification and are undoable.
Image directly supports Data Translation and Scion frame grabber cards for capturing images or movie sequences using a TV camera. Acquired images can be shading corrected and frame averaged. Other frame grabbers are supported via plug-in modules.
Image can be customized in three ways: via a built-in Pascal-like macro language, via externally compiled plug-in modules and on the Pascal source code level.

This action gives you the option of which images you would like to be more accessible and creates a copy on your desktop. Once the workflow is completed the copied images are left on the desktop ready for you to move to a more up-front place.
This action does not take the iPhoto copy and move it, it creates a copy on your desktop. I came up with the idea when I wanted to upload some images but the iPhoto organized folders were annoying me. Sorry for the lack of a proper installer, it just wouldn't work in my betas.
