Volocity

What is Volocity:

Volocity (Improvision/Perkin Elmer) is a 3D and time lapse (4D) imaging program for volume visualization, analysis, object measurement, tracking and colocalization.  It can use source data from diverse sources such as confocal microscopes & widefield microscopes.  Volocity can easily import z-series &/or time lapse image sequences from the Zeiss 510 or Leica SP2 or Biorad or Perkin Elmer confocal programs with metadata, as well as from other software.

Where can it be Used:

Volocity is installed on the image processing workstations called \\Zernike (64 bit version 4.4, 512 MB OpenGL video), \\Nomarski (version 5.0) & \\Snell (version 4.4) and can be installed from the Improvision web site and run from your laboratory computer given that it has sufficient RAM and a high performance OpenGL video card.  The Volocity LE (Light Edition) component is for viewing data only and is free to use to registered users at UNC.  The visualization & quantification modules are single instance software licensed to run on only one workstation at a time.  The acquisition module is for use by the Pathology Department only.  Availability of the Volocity licenses can be viewed at http://ai.med.unc.edu:15003
