Problem Solved and/or Key Features
QPt generates Phase Maps, a unique source of new information and visualisations for samples, from a Z stack of brightfield images. QPm also provides a full suite of phase contrast modalities, including Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC), and Zernike Phase Contrast (ZPC), plus Darkfield. The quantitative nature of the algorithms allows Z measurements to be taken. QPt covers both optical and electron microscopy.

User Profile
Invaluable in the life sciences for live cell or confocal users. QPt allows greater flexibility in the construction of phase images and data analysis. The QPt plug-in allows the generation of phase images from confocal image stacks without the need for additional optics which may cause either loss of intensity in fluorescence images or a misalignment of images for co-localization purposes.

Software or Hardware Requirements
IPP 4.x, through-focal series capture equipment (e.g. motorised z-stage), 10-bit minimum gray-scale camera and/or film scanning equipment for TEM.

Difficulty Level
Easy - Ready to go, no hard paths, installation program, complete user interface
