FCS Express 4 Image Cytometry can import a number of image data formats

De Novo software has collaborated with many imaging vendors to establish import compatibility for FCS Express.

FCS Express 4 Image Cytometry imports images, image analysis results, and image segmentation information from various instruments and image analysis tools to analyze data, create visualizations and produce customized reports. If there isn't a direct importer available (or in development) for your image analysis results, you can likely work through an intermediate step to work with FCS Express 4 Image Cytometry.

FCS Express 4 Image Cytometry is now compatible with the new Image Cytometry Experiment data format (ICE Format), which is open to use by any producer of image cytometry instrumentation or software to standardize image cytometry data for import into other platforms.

 

In some cases import compatibility with a single image analysis packages enables compatibility with many image formats (e.g. CellProfiler using Bio-Formats). In other cases, direct import of analysis results or links to imaging databases have been developed with specific vendors.
