Where can I get software to read my confocal images?
Software for reading the image files in their native database format is available from the facility or by user download (see Resources). Leica Lite can be installed without a license on any Windows-based PC (NT sp6, XP). The software can be downloaded from the Leica Web site, or we can give you a copy. Imaris also will read any confocal data (nearly any brand of confocal microscope). The software can be downloaded from the Bitplane Web site or obtained from the facility. The Biological Imaging Facility maintains NIAID-wide licenses for this software. Staff of the facility can assist in the installation of Imaris on many lab computers.
