Manually Uninstalling Previous Versions of HCA-Vision When
Upgrading
Installing HCA-Vision
Insert the HCA-Vision Installation CD
into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
-
The CD should start and run
automatically. If it does not, double click the “DEFAULT.HTM”
file on the CD.
-
follow the instructions the installer
provides.

Features
-
Sensitive and robust detection of
neurites, even in the presence of variable background
brightness, variable neurite staining, high cell densities and
high levels of neurite interconnections.
-
Detailed and biologically relevant
features describing the complexity of neurite branching
including measurements of neuron and neurite features in
various depth of morphology.
-
Detailed intensity measurements for
nucleus, cytoplasm, donut, membrane, neuron body and neurite.
-
Powerful image pre-processing utilities.
-
Batch processing using pre-tuned neurite
analysis parameters stored as parameter profiles.
-
Step by step wizard leading users to
fine-tune most parameters with a “Drag-N-See” feature – users
can drag scroll bars of individual parameters and then
directly see the real-time response in intermediate results.
-
Rich outputs – results are reported in
various formats including result images, crystal reports,
tabular result display and figures, which can be easily
exported or saved as different formats such as
TIF/JPEG/BMP/GIF, PDF, Excel, Word, Rich Text etc.
-
Three-way cross referencing showing
correspondences among statistical results in the tabular
neurite analysis report, neuron bodies in the original image
and the result image.
-
Storing parameter profiles for batch
processing or future reuse.
-
High speed – underlying algorithms have
been optimised over ten years of intensive use.
-
Many image formats – can read over 140
different image formats.
Fixes
Nil.
