Course description:

Imaris is a powerful software for visualisation and quantitative analysis of  threedimensional microscopical datasets and time series of any size.

With Imaris you can render very large datasets 3D and interact with the visualized dataset in real time. Additionally it allows you to animate and export your data as movie file.

On top of the visualisation, Imaris offers a complete toolbox for quantitative analysis of your data. It provides very flexible tools for segmentation of objects and for measuring their number, shape, volume, intensity etc. The measurements can directly be plotted in Imaris or exported for further statistical analysis.

All these segmentation tools can also be applied for time series, so that development of tissues or the movement of objects can be analysed and tracked over time.

The course will give a general overview of the Imaris functionality the software will be demonstrated in live with different examples in hands on sessions.

Participants should bring their own laptop to the course, the software and a 1 month test license will be provided.
