CoLocalizer Pro is a professional scientific program for quantitative colocalization analysis of multicolor confocal fluorescence microscopy images.

CoLocalizer Pro is a unique application of its kind. It performs calculation of colocalization coefficients and manages obtained data without limitations of the proprietary systems thus helping to save thousands of research dollars:Designed from the ground up with the user/researcher in mind.

Does not need to be tied to the confocal microscope to function. Guides user through the necessary steps to ensure that images are prepared appropriately for reliable execution of the colocalization calculations.

Compatible with image files in a variety of formats, including TIFF, JPEG, PICT, and BMP.Offers unparalleled power and flexibility in exporting obtained data for further use. Does not require resources of a desktop computer and thus particularly suitable for mobile users.

CoLocalizer Pro is a native Mac OS X application written in Cocoa/Objective-C to bring you the best Mac OS X computing experience. It utilizes latest technologies including high resolution smooth Quartz graphics and system-enabled Help.

Here are some key features of "CoLocalizer Pro":
Works with files in all popular image formats.
Employs published algorithms for instant calculation of all known colocalization coefficients on the selected region of interest (ROI).
Performs all calculations without the need for confocal microscope.
Ensures proper calculation of colocalization coefficients.
Analyzes image ROI, scatter gram ROI, traces pixels of a particluar color.
Exports all data ready for presentation and publication, such as:
calculations data as Excel, PDF, HTML, and text files compatible with both Macintosh and Windows PC
images in various file formats
analyzed images with embedded scatter gram for identifying pixels of a particular color.

Limitations:
For evaluating CoLocalizer Pro on other images, a time-limited trial license is needed. The license may be issued on request. It is valid 1 week.
