Neurolucida 360: The leading image analysis software for automatic 3D neuron reconstruction and quantitative morphology
Neurolucida 360 is the most trusted software for comprehensive neuron reconstruction. Built by neuroscientists for neuroscientists, Neurolucida 360 is equipped with powerful automated algorithms for detection of neuronal structures present in 2D and 3D microscopy image data.
With built-in workflows, an intuitive user-interface, and interactive 3D environment, Neurolucida 360 makes it easy to reconstruct somas, axons, dendrites, varicosities, spines, and synapses.
Paired with the companion software, Neurolucida Explorer, you can quickly and effectively analyze the morphology of subcellular structures, whole cells, or complex connective networks – from any species.
Neurolucida 360 has been developed with support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Recommended Hardware Requirements
Neurolucida 360 is a powerful software that can work with a wide range of image data of vastly different levels of size and complexity. Because of its flexibility, our recommendations for system configurations vary to balance the affordability of lower computing power for smaller data sets to more expensive high-end workstations for large, multi-channel data.
Please contact us to consult with our technical specialists for a more precise recommendation specific to your data needs.
64-bit Windows 11 operating system |
CPU with 8 cores (16 threads) or more. More cores improve performance when using large data sets (>1 GB). |
Solid state hard drive(s). Preferably, non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives. |
64 GB of system memory or more. More memory is better for large data sets, especially for image handling and reconstruction in the 3D environment. |
Graphics card with 8 GB memory or more. Most graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD have been tested with MBF Bioscience software. |
Minimum Hardware Requirements |
64-bit Windows 10 operating system |
8 core processor (16 threads) |
32 GB memory |
Graphics card with 6 GB memory or more: This is the minimum needed for the 3D environment, but is adequate for working only in 2D. |
Computer-Hardware Upgrade Priorities |
To upgrade your system for better performance with MBF Bioscience software, we suggest that you prioritize computer hardware upgrades as follows: |
-
-
- Increase system memory to at least 128 GB. More memory improves performance when using large data sets
|
-
-
- Replace hard disk drives (HDDs) with solid-state drives (SSDs), preferably non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives
|
-
-
- If you're working with 3D images and graphics, upgrade graphics card (GPU) to one with at least 8-12 GB memory
