WinCELL Features
|
|
|
Pro version: Regions of any shape can be analysed. Rectangular and circular regions are pre-defined or you can use the lasso tool to create a region of any irregular shape. Once a region is created it can be resized and the analysis is updated automatically.
Regions can be used to analyse different part of an image separately (like the earlywood of the image to the right). |

|
WinCELL uses the concept of analyzed region in order to reject incomplete cells. Cells touching the image boundary or located outside the analyzed region are not considered when computing average cell measurements (area, length and width). The color used to draw a cell indicates its classification (truncated by image boundary, partially or completely outside or inside the analysed region, rejected by operator, debris, cell type between cell or vessel). |
 |
| Measurements data are available interactively during the analysis and in text files that can be read by many software programs. These files are easily opened and visualized in spreadsheet style programs like Microsoft Excel. You can also click a cell to display its morphological measurement data. The cells distribution histogram, visible during the analysis or after in XLCell, also presents a global view of the cell structure parameters. |
 The cells distribution histogram displays the number of cells in function of area, length or width and for the Pro version the area in function of color.
|
| Image edition allows to compensate for defects or poor contrast (for example in latewood cells where the lumen is often darker). |
   Images can be edited with any color. It is easy to select a color present in the image and edit with it. A pen (to draw lines) and a lasso tool (to fill outlined regions) are provided for edition. |
| Pro version: Defects or regions you do not wish to be analysed can be excluded by outlining them with Exclusion Regions or by editing the image. Exclusion Regions can have any shape. |
 |
| WinCELL can analyse grey levels or color images (our cameras produce both kinds). The Pro version can do more analyses on color images. It can display and analyse one of the three color channels of a color image, use the color content to better classify the pixels into lumen and wall or quantify area in function of color. | |
| Calibration procedures are built-in and easy to perform with targets sold by microscope manufacturers. Different target models are supported. | |
| Debris can be automatically filtered out by size, color or manually by editing the images. | |
| Original images acquired from WinCELL, analysed or not can be saved in standard tiff or bmp files for opening in other application programs (MS Word, Photoshop...). | |
| Batch processing is provided to analyse a series of images without operator supervision. This analysis mode works only for analyses that can be done automatically (non-interactively). | |
| It is possible to store the analysis settings in configuration files for retrieving and reutilizing at a later time. | |
| You can choose which data types are saved. | |
| WinCELL can also be used as a general area meter (to measure leaf area for example) or a morphology analyser for other objects by modifying some of its default settings. | |
| WinCELL Regular software comes for FREE when you buy WinDENDRO (Reg or Density). |
