Demoing CoLocalizer Pro to colleagues

Two colleagues from Kyoto University visited me today for taking a look at CoLocalizer Pro and trying it out on their images. First of all both of them said it is really great to have a tool that works without a confocal microscope. The guys were excited and looked like they loved the software. Gave me a bunch of images they wanted to analyze and kept asking how to get things done. Asked me a lot of questions about background correction and tried doing correction themselves. They said they are going to buy the software for their labs and recommend it to collaborators. Then they went on telling me why the program is so useful and what they want to see improved and updated. It was great to see people sharing their views to make the program even better.

How the idea to create computer software for quantitative colocalization analysis came out

Hello Everybody! I have been using confocal microscopes for years and wanted to be able to perform reliable analysis of the colocalization of antigens on my samples. I also wanted to do it on my PowerBook, not on anemic Windows computers bundled with the microscopes. I started researching for the appropriate software, but found nothing, not a single title. Well, I teamed up with friends, and together we have created CoLocalizer Pro, a computer software for quantitative analysis of multicolor confocal fluorescence images. We wanted it to be used by our collaborators and the people we know, as well as by many others we don`t. On April 24, after more than 10 months of development, we offered CoLocalizer Pro to the scientific community worldwide. Its journey to the labs has begun.
