Neurolucida - new version 8.0

System for Neuroanatomical Analysis

MBF Bioscience has added numerous enhancements to Neurolucida 8.0, the gold standard for 3D neuron reconstructions. Improved 3D visualization, with the faster and smoother 3D solids module, provides researchers with the ability to rotate and view image stacks in real time. Other enhancements include the ability to transfer results directly into Microsoft Excel®. As with Stereo Investigator, the mobile licensing feature allows the software to be moved between multiple workstations.

The most advanced scientific software for performing brain mapping, neuron tracing, and morphometry, Neurolucida has the flexibility to handle data in many formats. Researchers can use live images from digital or video cameras; acquired images from confocal microscopes, electron microscopes, and scanning tomographic sources; or through the microscope oculars using MBF Bioscience’s patented Lucivid™ system.

Neurolucida’s neuron tracing capabilities include 3D measurement and reconstruction of branching processes with detailed morphometric analyses. Neurolucida also features sophisticated tools for mapping – allowing researchers to delineate and map anatomical regions for detailed morphometric analyses.
