Review
MicroMeasure is a scientific image analysis application for cytogeneticists and cytologists. MM is designed for the measurement of chromosomes and related structures from any suitable digitized images, such as scanned or electronically captured light- or electron micrographs. MM works with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Millenium Edition, or NT 4.0.
Since MM is intended specifically for linear chromosome measurement (unlike other image analysis programs), characteristics commonly used by chromosome cytologists (such as centromeres, bands, fluorescent foci, etc.) may be easily marked, and standard data types (e.g. relative lengths of chromosomes or chromosome arm ratios) are computed automatically in an Excel spreadsheet.
Users may also customize the traits to be marked with MM, and using the flexible data spreadsheet, conduct more specialized analyses. |
