For Mac OS X
Only "Graphics converter" and "Image J" can read the IPLab images directly. For ImageJ to open those images, you need to install a macro. Go to the Plugins Menu, choose "Macro", then "Install". Install the macro named OpenMacIPLab. The description of the file IPLab Mac format is in the User's Guide (Appendix), Other programs with a configurable "import" command may be able to open them once an specific configuration is set.
Links
- Nikon MicroscopyU is a useful resource for learning more about the optics relevant to the scope.
- Molecular Expressions has general information related to microscopy. Some of this information appears to the the same as that offered by MicroscopyU.
Note: one of the more useful parts of these two site are the Javascript tutorials. Unfortunately, they don't seem to load under Mac OS 10.3 using either Firefox or Safari. They do work in Tiger 10.4 using Safari however. If anyone knows of a workaround in 10.3, please place a link or note here. - Image processing toolbox from Matlab.
