About Carnoy

Carnoy is an easy-to-use image analysis program developed to help scientists carry out measurements on digital images, especially on micrographs obtained from light or electron microscopes. Carnoy employs a unique one-click calibration option that enables users to click on a scale bar, enter its length, and have measurements calculated on micrographs accordingly. For micrographs that do not have a scale bar (e.g. from a light microscope), you can specify calibration values for every magnification you use. After this calibration, you can add a scale bar to those LM pictures. Carnoy measures the length, perimeter and surface area of regular and irregular objects. It can also do automated particle analysis -- counting and measuring. The software supports BMP, PICT, Photoshop, JPEG, GIF, PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF, PDF and QuickTime image files, and can also convert between the different file types. The measurements themselves can be annotated, then exported to a tab-delimited file for further analysis. Carnoy has been developed for a variety of scientific fields, including taxonomy, morphology, ecology, physiology, molecular cell biology, engineering, agricultural sciences, paleontology, archaeology, and more. Carnoy has a clean and easy-to-use interface, so you will be productive within minutes.
