As part of the effort to showcase the emerging neuroscience community at Western Washington University, we will be sponsoring the Pacific Northwest Neuroscience Meeting on Saturday October 3rd, 2009. Historically, this meeting has attracted as many as 120 local neuroscientists from Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Victoria, and University of Washington. This year’s event is co-sponsored by WWU and the...
Read MoreWith the release of Neurolucida 9 comes version 4 of AutoNeuron. At MBF Bioscience our customers’ suggestions often become our newest features. What’s new and improved? Windows 7/64-Bit: We’ve tested—and passed—Neurolucida and AutoNeuron on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. The 64-bit version allows more memory and bigger data sets. Interactive Mode: We’ve put a lot of work into making this easier to use. AutoNeuron...

Read Moreby Julie Keefe, M.S. With version 9.0 of our software, you can now easily configure a Neurolucida or Stereo Investigator system to support multiple users, each with their own personalized settings. There is no need to worry if the program is pointing to the right directory or accessing the correct configuration files for each user. The new multiple-user setup only takes about 30 seconds for each user. It...
Read Moreby Jack Glaser, President We pride ourselves on designing cutting edge applications that are comprehensive, easy-to-use, and tailored to your research. Three years ago, we launched AutoNeuron for automated neuron reconstruction. Today, I am proud to announce that we are continuing our tradition of innovation with version 9.0 of Stereo Investigator, which includes automated 3D cell detection with colocalization. It significantly reduces the time and effort required...

We are pleased to announce that we have added support for two leading confocal devices for microscopy. The CARV II and the Qioptiq OptiGrid are now completely integrated with the MBF family of software solutions. These devices enable Stereo Investigator to perform stereology in a confocal environment and allow Neurolucida, AutoNeuron, and Virtual Slice to benefit from better visualization due to the thin depth of...
Read MoreStereology is a powerful tool that can reduce your workload and provide accurate, unbiased quantification. Unfortunately, stereology is often not the most intuitive method for the uninitiated. If it isn’t done properly, the results you attain may not be accurate. Here’s where we can help. Not only do we make Stereo Investigator, the most cited software for stereology, but now we’re offering to do your...
