The HSTRI Core has one fixed and one floating license of the advanced imaging analysis software package, Imaris (v. 10.2; Oxford Instruments).
Imaris is designed for motion detection (average and instantaneous speed, acceleration, track length, cell cycle duration), cell biology (cell volume, number of vesicles per cell, distance to membrane, vesicles per nucleus, distance to cell center, spot or particle detection (count, position (x, y, and z), distance between spots, distance to surface object, speed) and surface (area, volume, intensity, ellipticity, sphericity) analysis.
AI machine learning is available for training the software to detect almost any object.
The two licenses comprise several specialized Imaris packages designed for specific tasks: 1) Imaris XBT/Colocalization module, 2) Imaris ClearView Deconvolution module; and 3) Imaris Neuroscientist module.
The fixed license is associated with a single high-end Windows 10-based computer workstation located in room 44 of the Savitt Medical Sciences building. PC specs include:
16 x Total Xeon Scalable Processor Cores/2.1 GHz, 2 x Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, 32 Cores with hyperthreading enabled
