Anybody know of any book on MetaMorph imaging software
|
Hi all, I’m new to this program and was wondering if there is
any book on MetaMorph that I can look at as a reference. Thanks. Roland Roland Hilgarth Emory University |

Hi Roland,
I do not know of any books, but there are regular training
courses ran my Molecular Devices. See http://www.moleculardevices.com/pages/MM-new/meta_training.html for
dates etc. I have been told these are very good courses, i have not been to one
myself as I am in Australia and they don't run them here
(yet?).
Also the MetaMorph website has a good collection of support
articles in their knoledge base (see http://support.meta.moleculardevices.com/search.php)
There is also a big user base. If you get stuck just as a
question here (or you can contact me directly) and you will get the help you
need.
I will make the obligatory statement: I ahave no comericial
interest in Molecular Device, i am just a very satisified
customer.
Cheers
Cam

Hi Roland, There aren’t any books on MetaMorph
that I am aware of. Plus the training courses are all in the US, in Downtown
Burbank or somewhere equally as dreary [Downingtown, PA]. Not much practical
use for anyone living on another continent. Our local Molecular Devices rep did
offer to give some training in our building here for new users, but at around
£600 for the morning. I haven’t used MetaMorph email
support recently [probably not since Molecular devices acquired them], but the
staff used to be very helpful if you are stuck on any particular point. Plus as
Cameron points out there is a large MetaMorph user base that can be reached via
the microscopy.com and confocal listservers, and there’s MetaMorph’s
on-line support, the in-program help and the pdf manuals that come on the install
CD. I can’t find a new version of the useful interactive MetaMorph tutorial
training CD that used to be supplied with the MetaMorph v4.5 CD though [my v7.5
just came with the pdf manuals and program on one CD] – sadly it’s
about 400Mb so I can’t email a copy, so check if there’s an old one
lying about in the lab [or ask Molecular devices if they can supply a copy]. Once
you get going with MetaMorph it does become a lot easier, although you will
need a copy of Photoshop CS4 as well, as MetaMorph’s Binary [threshold]
editor is very basic if not non-existent. MetaMorph support: http://www.moleculardevices.com/pages/MM-new/meta_support.html MetaMorph is my preferred program for most
2D image analysis [probably as I know it so well and am lucky enough to have a
licence], although we also have Volocity [for 3D], IPlabs, & Nikon NISElements. Also check out: Image Analysis: principles & practice. Joyce Loebl (1985) - a
classic, easy to read, general guide, but probably only available via an
interlibrary loan now, as it’s long out of print Keith --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From:

Hi Roland,
The online appnotes cover a lot of stuff, see http://support.meta.moleculardevices.com/docs/ (probably best place for info for any Premier features). The older CD's (and maybe even the current CD) have a zip file with older versions of the appnotes. The web site no longer has the shading correction appnote (T10009) - so it may be missing many others. I wrote 100+ of the appnotes from 1992-1997. If your CD does not have the appnotes, email me at work ([hidden email]) and I can send it to you. If you have a travel budget, you might consider visiting me in Miami for a day or two, especially if your budget lets you stay at a nice hotel in Miami Beach or Coconut Grove. I currently have MM5.07, one of which is on a Leica manual fluorescence microscope with ORCA-ER camera. George p.s. speaking of shading correction - I concur with a recent post that the Fluor-Ref / Chroma plastic fluorescent slides are not optimal fluorescent shading correction standards for real specimens. For one possible alternative, see: Concentrated dyes as a source of two-dimensional fluorescent field for characterization of a confocal microscope. Model MA, Blank JL. J Microsc. 2008 Jan;229(Pt 1):12-6. PMID: 18173639 standard for calibration and shading correction of a fluorescence microscope. Model MA, Burkhardt JK. Cytometry. 2001 Aug 1;44(4):309-16.
