Analysis Workstations
The core facility has three offline analysis systems with Intel Xeon-based processors. Two of these are custom-built Origin computers and the third is a Dell Precision computer. All analysis workstations have the most recent versions of the Fiji build of Image J and RStudio, 2023.12.1. The Dell workstation is additionally equipped with Zeiss Zen software and SparkLab 5.8.2, custom-made program for analysis of linescan images. One of the Origin analysis workstations has a fully functional copy of Imaris and Imaris Stitcher 10.1 by Andor. The other has Aperio ImageScape v12.4.6, OlyVIA V4.1.1, and a permanent site license of Visiopharm. Imaris can be used for visualization, segmentation, and analysis of 3D and 4D datasets and is particularly suited for fluorescent imaging. Visiopharm utilizes Al-based image analysis and tissue mining tools to allow users to detect, classify, and interpret a variety of sample types and is well suited for performing automated analysis of large datasets.
