Beyond co-localization: inferring spatial interactions between sub-cellular structures from microscopy images.

Full Name . This plugin can be used to add synthetic Poisson-distributed noise to an image in order to simulate shot noise of various signal-to-noise ratios.

Its code can be downloaded by following git command: and submit jobs there. See the user manual for details.

Several of the image-processing algorithms developed at the MOSAIC Group for fluorescence microscopy are available as plugins for the popular free image processing software ImageJ2 or Fiji.

This name represents both what we are and what we do: the MOSAIC group combines researchers from several cultural and academic backgrounds in a truly interdisciplinary team that develops, teaches, and applies MOdels, Simulations, and Algorithms for Interdisciplinary Computing. A mosaic lives from the synergies between the individually colored tiles. The tool now also supports 3D images (but still includes support also for 2D ones) and includes new and improved algorithms. We exploit the unifying framework of particle methods for numerical simulation, image analysis, and model identification. See the user manual for details. The Bessel function is a model for a generic Point-Spread Function, depending on the wavelength and NA.

We coordinate the interdisciplinary and international M.Sc. In 2008, the group changed its name in order to better reflect its activity. On the left side you find links to executable programs, source code, and documentation that you are encouraged to use. In order to ensure financial support for our project and allow further development of this software, please cite above publications in all your documents and manuscripts that made use of this software. See the user manual for details.

This plugin can be used to estimate the Point-Spread Function of the microscopy out of 2D fluorescence images. However, we collaborate with numerous experimental groups in order to apply our methods to help advance biology.
