Your software is your imaging driver

MetaMorph® can drive your imaging hardware, turning your devices into a complete workstation for live cell imaging acquisition, processing and analysis. The software is designed for applications such as multi-dimensional imaging, 3D deconvolution, fluorescence, motion analysis, colocalization, ratio imaging, time lapse and more. MetaMorph 6.3 features:

New automated laser control for photobleaching applications such as FRAP

New time-saving application modules to automate the analysis of neurite outgrowth, angiogenesis and multiple wavelength cell segmentation

Enhancements to region measurements, journaling and multi-dimensional imaging

The new MetaPlayerTM, a standalone visualization software for viewing MetaMorph, MetaFluor and MetaVue imaging experiments and confocal data sets, available for download at www.moleculardevices.com/pages/software/metaplayer.html.

In our Classic Articles you can explore original reprinted articles

dating back to 1905. When completed, this series will contain

over 300 original papers by the legends in biochemistry: including

Folin, Van Slyke, the Coris, Doisy, McCollum, Hastings, Lowry,

Kornberg, Kennedy, Brown, Goldstein, and many more!

JBC Reflections were created as a celebration of JBC’s 100th

Birthday! We have invited premier biochemists to write about

their contributions that have helped mark the many advances in

biochemistry and molecular biology since 1905.

Visit us at: www.jbc.org

Take a journeywith The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) and explore all the exciting and

important discoveries that biochemists have made in the world of science!

Above photograph (by Sam Vandivert, ©The Rockefeller University) shows Stanford Moore (left) and William H. Stein (right) in front of the original amino acid analyzer in 1965.

It is our hope that Classic Articles & Reflections will, in small part, share some of the personal experiences and history of biochemistry.
