Hi Adam Have you checked out ImageJ? It's a free downloadable program that I have used for alveolar morphometry. Fairly user friendly, more so than BioQuant, although not quite as thorough. Good Luck Kathy Kathleen Jones Research Technician Pathology/Microbiology AVC - UPEI (902)566-0595

We need to quantify the number of osteoblasts / osteoclasts per bone surface area as well as the percent surface area occupied by those cells. We have a computer with BioQuant on it available, but we find the software to be incredibly clunky and often nearly impossible to use. Based on my limited attempts to use it, it very well might rank as one of the worst user interfaces I've ever seen, and I was trained in computer science and have seen my fair share of horrible software (I'm looking at you, Lotus Notes). Anyhow, any suggestions on a (preferably cheap / free) replacement for doing simple analysis or how to make BioQuant less painful would be very helpful.
