FishInspector

Screenshot of FishInspector Software Version 1.03

The FishInspector software allows the user-friendly and easy annotation of features in zebrafish embryo 2-dimensional images. Features are detected automatically but may require correction by the user (implemented in the software). At present only lateral images can be analysed, but the software could be extended to analyse dorsoventral images as well. The software has been initially developed for images obtained with an automated capillary position system. However, images from other sources can be used as well after appropriate conversion (see here). During the installation process an appropriate version of MATLAB runtime will be installed as well. No full MATLAB installation is required. FishInspector has been tested on Windows 7 but may run on other Windows versions as well.

More details on the software and the subsequent data analysis can be found in the following publication:

Plugins, future versions

The software is intended to be modified and extended by the community. If you are interested or have a special interest please do not hesitate to contact us.
