Description

The iRoCS Toolbox is an interactive Qt4 analysis tool for attaching the intrinsic Root Coordinate System (iRoCS) to 3-D confocal recordings of the Arabidopsis root apical meristem (RAM). This allows quantitative comparative studies of root populations in a sound and intuitive context. Main features are: - 3-D Visualization of the volume in an orthographic view. - Manual annotation of anatomical reference structures (QC, nuclei) - Automatic detection and annotation of cells and/or nuclei with several meaningful properties, like position, radius, tissue, cell file, cell cycle state, volume. - Full control. Any step can be manually corrected and re-fed into the modeling. - Retrieval and localization of key events like cell divisions
