 HCA-Vision is an automated image analysis software package that rapidly and reproducibly measures functional features of neuronal cells in 2D images.
Who it’s for
- Neuroscience researchers in universities, research institutes, hospitals
etc
- Researchers in life science and pharmaceutical companies conducting target
identification/validation and compound screening
What it does
HCA-Vision guides the user in the process of choosing optimal parameters for
the automated segmentation of neuron bodies and neurites. It delivers
quantitative measures and statistics that are biologically relevant.
For example, the neurite outgrowth module of HCA-Vision measures important
morphological properties of neuronal cells, such as:
- number of branching points
- total neurite length
- number of branch layers
- number of primary branches

software.
NOTE: It requires that you have the Flash
Player. It is set to 1280 x 1024 resolution and is 4MB in size. Set your
browser to full screen mode (F11).
Features
- available as a complete stand-alone package or as modules for integration
into third-party systems
- images and numerical results can be exported in a wide range of formats
- full batch processing capabilities
- provides detailed, relevant information about cells
- optimised for speed
- easy to use – parameters are intuitive, can tune parameters and
immediately see effects, step-by-step/Wizard-based process, interactive with
real-time response
- can store parameter profiles for similar assay conditions
- statistics are available per cell or at population level
- based on .NET technology
New modules will be developed. For example, modules are planned in the area
of cell co-culture analysis and nuclear damage. Talk to us about these.
