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.

VTK is an open-source software system for image processing, 3D graphics, volume rendering and visualization. VTK includes many advanced algorithms (e.g., surface reconstruction, implicit modeling, decimation) and rendering techniques (e.g., hardware-accelerated volume rendering, LOD control).

VTK is used by academicians for teaching and research; by government research institutions such as Los Alamos National Lab in the US or CINECA in Italy; and by many commercial firms who use VTK to build or extend products.

The origin of VTK is with the textbook "The Visualization Toolkit, an Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics" originally published by Prentice Hall and now published by Kitware, Inc. (Third Edition ISBN 1-930934-07-6). VTK has grown (since its initial release in 1994) to a world-wide user base in the commercial, academic, and research communities.

TissUUmaps is a browser-based tool for fast visualization and exploration of millions of data points overlaying a tissue sample. TissUUmaps can be used as a web service or locally in your computer, and allows users to share regions of interest and local statistics.

ELEPHANT is a platform for 3D cell tracking, based on incremental and interactive deep learning.
It implements a client-server architecture. The server is built as a web application that serves deep learning-based algorithms. The client application is implemented by extending Mastodon, providing a user interface for annotation, proofreading and visualization.
