Key Benefits

Comprehensive quantitative vascular and anatomical morphometric analysis

Understanding the vascular makeup of cerebral architecture or visceral organs is an integral part of uncovering mechanisms of disease and finding new treatments.  With Vesselucida Explorer, you can quantify vascular morphology from vessel reconstruction data derived in Vesselucida 360 or Vesselucida.

Vesselucida Explorer is equipped with dozens of neuronal and regional analyses that are customizable to your specific research questions. We have removed the obstacles for rapid, high-volume, quantitative data analysis by programming all the complex morphological analyses, so you don’t have to.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I have to purchase Vesselucida 360 and Vesselucida Explorer separately?

Vesselucida Explorer software is complimentary to the purchase of Vesselucida or Vesselucida 360 software. Additional licenses of Vesselucida Explorer sold separately.

Can I install Vesselucida Explorer on a different computer than Vesselucida or Vesselucida 360?

Yes. Though Vesselucida Explorer can be directly launched from Vesselucida or Vesselucida 360 applications, the software can be installed separately on other computers in your lab to increase data generation and interpretation throughput.

Can I export Vesselucida Explorer-derived metrics?

With a click of a button, the tabular morphometric data generated by Vesselucida Explorer can be easily exported to Excel. For researchers who prefer to program custom analyses and operations, data can be exported as separate files for loading into other software such as Matlab, Python, or R. 

Can I request a custom analysis that isn’t already included in the Vesselucida Explorer toolset?

MBF is proud to help bioscience leaders and experts push the next wave of innovation and discovery to benefit humanity. Given this, it’s possible you’re looking for customized technology for your needs. If that is the case, click here to get in touch with us directly. We’d be happy and honored to see if we can create something together that will move all of us forward. 

What are the differences between Vesselucida 360 and Vesselucida Explorer?

Vesselucida Explorer is the analytical software companion for Vesselucida and Vesselucida 360. Researchers can use Vesselucida 360 or Vesselucida to generate vessel reconstructions and anatomical models from acquired image data or directly from slides at the microscope, respectively. Then you can leave the image data and microscope behind, and employ Vesselucida Explorer to quantify the Vesselucida 360 or Vesselucida -derived models. 

Are there online resources to help me learn the software and better understand the analysis formulas in Vesselucida Explorer?

All MBF Bioscience software comes with comprehensive, context-sensitive help guides accessible online or offline. All of the analysis available in Vesselucida Explorer have been fully documented in the product user-guide.
