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.
Plasma Tunnel Saver 1.3
Travel through a tunnel on your desktop with configurable colors and fog and optimization for OS X. more>>
Plasma Tunnel Saver 1.3 provides highly interactive user-friendly application to make your desktop look like you're traveling down a constantly changing tunnel. It features configurable tunnel wall colors, and you can also add fog to enhance the effect.
Enhancements: Adds a randomize function which randomizes fog distance and fog/wall color over time.
SSH Tunnel Manager 2.0b3
SSH Tunnel Manager - front-end for the ssh command when used to open tunnels between two hosts more>>
With SSH Tunnel Manager you can set up as many tunnels as you wish, each one containing as many port redirections as you wish.
SSH Tunnels are a secure way to access hosts, or machines you cannot normaly reach, i.e : hosts on a LAN or behind a firewall. By the way, this is not a cracker tool! You must be able to access an ssh enabled host that can communicate with this private network (usually a firewall). SSH can play with two kind of tunnels, called Local port forwarding and Remote port forwarding.
I tried to include all the important features people asked me to do since 1.0 version, so you can tune almost every usefull option available in the command line tool.
Enhancements:
- Include a workaround to use ssh tunnels SOCKS proxy feature (embedded ssh binary used only when tunnel needs SOCK feature, because of a bug in Panthers ssh).
- Fixed a wrong behavior sometimes while adding port redirections.
- Added a field in advanced options that show command line that will be used to launch the tunnel.
- Fixed a confusing build number in about box different from the one in preferences.
- Makes link to the website effective in preferences window.
- Removed all references to SSH Tunnel Manager "2". There was no resons for that since all users of v1 should upgrade :-) (Christophe is happy now).
Plasma Tunnel Screensaver 1.4
Plasma Tunnel Screensaver is an impressive and unique screensaver which will catch your attention immediately. more>>
Plasma Tunnel Screensaver 1.4 is an impressive and unique screensaver which will catch your attention immediately. The effect you are about to see was first meant to be the last part of the upcoming demo, but now it is put apart, since it doesn't match the style of the demo anymore. Beside of this it was the result of a boring, rainy Sunday here in Germany, and can not be considered as something special... but anyways hopefully more special than this ported savers floating around [something to kick your peecee pals asses].
Enhancements: Added support for MacOS X 10.6.
Scan Lines 1.0.0
Scan Lines introduces artificial scan lines into the clip, making it appear like early-day computer graphics and arcade machine more>>
Use Scan Lines whenever you want to introduce some stylish, but otherwise not very useful scan line effects or other regular horizontal lines into your clip.
Main features:
- area of effect: define the area of the clip you want to be affected by the plug-in. all other parts or the clip remain untouched.
- line color: this specifies the color that the scan lines are drawn in.
- separation: this tells the plug how far apart the scan lines should be generated.
- thickness: this defines the thickness of the scan lines
- opacity: this slider controls how transparent the scan lines are.

Scan Again 1.0
Scan Again - A GUI front-end for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) more>>
These were originally developed for Linux, but work on other operating systems, including Mac OS X.
I had this problem with an HP scanner I picked up at a rummage sale, and was able to get it to work using SANE. The trouble was that the SANE utilities are all command-line, and I got tired of typing.
I decided to make a GUI shell to interface with the command-line utilities, and I did this using RealBasic .
The resulting program runs the command-line utilities for you. It searches for scanners, putting the results into a pop-up at the top of the window ( see screen shot ).
It then interrogates the selected scanner for available options, and populates the spinners and pop-ups with the options available for the given scanner.
