BioImageXD - free open source 3D microscopy analysis and visualisation software - beta release Dear All, If you like OSIRIX ( which we all do, because it is great!) but you also have windows machines.... You can now download and use the windows beta version of BioImageXD! BioImageXD is tailored for 3D microscopy, not Medical data like CT and NMR, but some features are shared, both use VTK for 3D visualisation. It will read carl zeiss .lsm files, some Leica files, and also import stacks of 8 bit tiff and other image formats. BioImageXD does interactive 3D volume rendering, and many other viewing methods, and can also make movies/animations. BioImageXD does colocalisation analysis, using the same algorithms as in the WCIF ImageJ version. BioImageXD is open source and free. We need your help to fix bugs and add new features that YOU want! Any offers of help with programming, processing/analysis algorithms, funding etc very welcome. http://www.bioimagexd.org follow the download link at the top of the page. email to email@hidden Enjoy the software! BioImageXD team Release of BioImageXD - Press release BioImageXD is a collaborative open source free software project, designed and developed by microscopists, cell biologists, nanoscientists and programmers from the Universities of Jyväskylä and Turku in Finland, and collaborators worldwide. BioImageXD enables analysis, processing and 3D visualisation of multi dimensional microscopy images on cheap and high end computer hardware. Current commercially available software for microscopy often has technical limitations, lack of features and flexibility, annoying bugs, and prohibitively high cost. When users ask for new features to be added or bugs to be fixed, this often takes years, or never even happens. BioImageXD aims to match, and in some areas outperform, commercial microscopy software in speed and functionality, and do it for free. Further, since users drive the development of the software, they can help add the features they want, and fix bugs quickly. Features in the beta version of BioImageXD released today include image processing and statistical analysis, 3D visualisation and a video editor module, the Animator, for producing fly through animations of 3D microscopy data, allowing researchers to give the best statistical and visual representation possible of their microscopy results during scientific and media presentations. Scientists on tight budgets will be able to take microscope images and create informative pictures and impressive 3D movies. They can save 10s of thousands of euros on software costs, and spend that on microscope hardware instead, allowing them to produce high quality science previously only attainable by very large centrally funded government and industrial labs with microscopy core facilities. BioImageXD is free and open source, much like the Linux computer operating system project, and anyone can contribute to develpoment. We aim to build an active community of users and developers of BioImageXD, who will advocate use of BioImageXD as a replacement for inflexible expensive commercial software, and drive the development of BioImageXD to include the features they want and need, quickly. We plan to build on the success of free software projects in science, such as Linux, PyMol, ImageJ, VTK and Osirix, to name but a few. The project website at http://www.bioimagexd.org hosts BioImageXD downloadable as a Microsoft WindowsXP installer program and also as source code. Soon to follow are Linux and Apple Mac OS X versions of BioImageXD, and we are developing support for modern 64-bit processors, high performance super computers and computing clusters/grids. BioImageXD is a new wave in the modern era of informational biology. Researchers will be able to use free software for complex tasks previously requiring expensive software purchases. Researchers will get the tools they want and need in return for participation in the BioImageXD development community.

Currently only a windows executable is released, but the software is
platform independent.
OSX and linux releases are soon to follow,
or you can download the source code, which will run on OSX if you
have a python wrapped install of VTK
(source build or maybe even darwinports or fink will work, using
Aqua, not X11)
