NODeJ is an ImageJ plugin for 3D segmentation of nuclear objects.

"The three-dimensional nuclear arrangement of chromatin impacts many cellular processes operating at the DNA level in animal and plant systems. Chromatin organization is a dynamic process that can be affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. Three-dimensional imaging technology allows to follow these dynamic changes, but only a few semi-automated processing methods currently exist for quantitative analysis of the 3D chromatin organization. We present an automated method, Nuclear Object DetectionJ (NODeJ), developed as an imageJ plugin. This program segments and analyzes high intensity domains in nuclei from 3D images. NODeJ performs a Laplacian convolution on the mask of a nucleus to enhance the contrast of intra-nuclear objects and allow their detection. We reanalyzed public datasets and determined that NODeJ is able to accurately identify heterochromatin domains from a diverse set of Arabidopsis thaliana nuclei stained with DAPI or Hoechst. NODeJ is also able to detect signals in nuclei from DNA FISH experiments, allowing for the analysis of specific targets of interest. NODeJ allows for efficient automated analysis of subnuclear structures by avoiding the semi-automated steps, resulting in reduced processing time and analytical bias. NODeJ is written in Java and provided as an ImageJ plugin with a command line option to perform more high-throughput analyses. NODeJ can be downloaded from https://gitlab.com/axpoulet/image2danalysis/-/releases with source code, documentation and further information avaliable at https://gitlab.com/axpoulet/image2danalysis . The images used in this study are publicly available at https://www.brookes.ac.uk/indepth/images/ and https://doi-org.osaka-u.idm.oclc.org/10.15454/1HSOIE ."

A generalist framework for multi-dimensional automatic spot detection and quantification.

SpotMAX is designed to accomplish two tasks:

1. Detecting and quantifying globular-like structures (a.k.a. "spots")
2. Segmenting and quantifying fluorescently labelled structures

It supports 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D data, i.e., z-stacks, timelapse, and multiple fluorescence channels (and combinations thereof).

Description from Github page:

A GUI-based Python framework for segmentation, tracking, cell cycle annotations and quantification of microscopy data.
Provides a GUI for neural network models including Segment Anything Model (SAM), YeaZ, cellpose, StarDist, YeastMate, omnipose, delta, DeepSea.

MetaXpress or in full name "MetaXpress® High-Content Image Acquisition and Analysis Software" is a commercially available closed source software for high-content analysis from Molecular Devices, LLC.. The program is a kind of visually guided workflow programming environment. There is a programming module called CME (custom module editor) which lets one setup integrated workflows for bioimage analysis with visual feedback. It is designed for high-throughput in connection with a included database which stores the experimental data. 

It has several toolboxes for semiautomated processing of various tasks:

3D Analysis (requires Custom Module Editor), Curve fitting, Transmitted light segmentation (requires Custom Module Editors), Angiogenesis tube formation, Cell cycle, Cell health, Cell scoring , Count nuclei, Granularity, Live/dead , Mitotic index, Micronuclei , Monopole detection, Multi-Wavelength cell scoring, Multi-wavelength translocation, Neurite outgrowth , Transfluor® Assay, Translocation* (includes Translocation-Enhanced*) , Transfluor HT Assay , Nuclear translocation HAT, Cell proliferation HT

After the workflow is setup it is possible to apply it automatically to a stack of stored images. The derived data from those analyses is stored in the metaxpress database and can be exported from there.

The use of each toolbox requires a separate license.

SNT is ImageJ’s framework for tracing, visualization, quantitative analyses and modeling of neuronal morphology. For tracing, SNT supports modern multidimensional microscopy data, semi-automated and automated routines, and options for editing traces. For data analysis, SNT features advanced visualization tools, access to all major morphology databases, and support for whole-brain circuitry data.
