AbsorbanceQ App for Generating Absorbance Images from Brightfield Image Captures

Description

This page hosts the AbsorbanceQ app which generates absorbance images from brightfield image captures. Absorbance microscopy can be used to make trypan blue cell viability measurements more quantitative and traceable by measuring the moles of trypan blue in each dead cell. AbsorbanceQ was written in MATLAB and can be downloaded as a .zip file. When unzipped, the program will be installed and can run as a standalone .exe file with no dependencies beyond the operating system. This website includes images that can be downloaded to validate that AbsorbanceQ is functioning properly.

57 This is a .zip file containing synthetic images that can be used to validate that the app works properly using [32 bit floating point monochrome .tif files] as input images. There are five synthetic neutral density filter images (I) (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and a striped image with four values), one synthetic Imax image and one synthetic Imin image. https://data.nist.gov/od/ds/mds2-2423/Synthetic_Images_32bit.zip
