Confocal Microscopy & Image Analysis CD ROM
General Information Page
Our goal is to assemble a collection of tools for learning/teaching in the area of confocal microscopy and image analysis. These disks will contain valuable information for confocal microscopists, neuroscientists, cell physiologists, fluorescence microscopists, and image analysis and 3D reconstruction scientists, technicians & students. See the table of contents below.
Publisher: J. Paul Robinson, Purdue University
Guest Editors: To be announced
Submission Deadline: September 1, 1997
Meeting release: Cell Biology 1997/ Neuroscience Meeting, 1997
Distribution: 3-5000 CDs will be distributed free of charge at scientific meetings
This CD ROM will follow the very successful PURDUE CYTOMETRY CD ROM Series (Vol. 1 - March 1996, Vol.2 - Dec 1996, Vol. 3 forthcoming Aug 1997). These disks use the "world wide web-on-a-disk" concept perfected in our laboratory. They are set up like web pages, with hot links allowing you to navigate through the disk. They are entirely independent of Internet connections, but if connected, users can also access relevant web sites via hot links set up on the disk. Having this material on CD ROM allows users to avoid time-consuming web searches for this specialized topic area. Images are loaded quickly on these web-on-a-disk productions - so heavy use of graphics is feasible.
A preliminary table of contents is listed below. Please consider what you can share with your colleagues via this disk!
NOTE: The CDROM will be useful on MAC, IBM-PC, and UNIX systems. All formats are supported.
