Carnoy 1.0: scientific imaging for Mac OS X and Windows
LEUVEN, Belgium – September 10, 2001 – The Laboratory of Plant Systematics
(K.U.Leuven) today announced the availability of Carnoy. Carnoy is an
easy-to-use image analysis program. It is designed to carry out
measurements on digital images and especially on micrographs obtained from
light or electron microscopes.
Carnoy features a unique one-click calibration option: click on the scale
bar, enter its length and you are ready to carry out real-world
measurements on your micrographs.
Carnoy measures length and surface area of regular and irregular objects.
It also performs automated particle analysis (counting and measuring). The
program can handle BMP, PICT, Photoshop, JPEG, GIF, PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF and
QuickTime image files and can convert between these file types.
Measurements are stored in a list that smartly manages all data. Every
measurement can be annotated. Measurements can be exported to a
tab-delimited file, which can be read by any text editor, word processor,
database or spreadsheet, for further analysis.
The program’s clean and easy-to-use interface enables you to be productive
within minutes.
Carnoy can be used in the following fields: taxonomy, morphology, ecology,
physiology, molecular cell biology, agricultural sciences, paleontology,
archaeology, among others.
Carnoy requires a Macintosh running Mac OS X or a PC with at least 64 MB
RAM and Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP. A resolution of 1024 x 768
pixels (or higher) is recommended.
Carnoy is $15 shareware. It’s available for download on the Carnoy website.
