Key features: 3D surface and volume rendering. Identify and measure 3D objects and object properties.
Imaris is another a 3D rendering and quantification software package. 3D rendering and identification of objects, spots and other features are done using the Surpass view, which will probably be the one you use the most. Imaris does not have a built-in deconvolution package (Bitplane use AutoQuant for that) but it does have the advantage that measurements can be made on the 3D rendered volume itself, which is something that isn't possible in Volocity. It is also possible to use MatLab and Fiji macros and plugins using ImarisXT. The version of Imaris we have also has a Filament Tracer module, which is designed for tracing neurons but that could also be used for branching blood vessels. We are running Imaris 7.7 and have the following modules: MeasurementPro, ImarisTracking, ImarisColoc, ImarisXT, FilamentTracer and ImarisVantage.
