™Huygens Colocalization Analyzer

With unique 3D visualization

Within seconds, Huygens Colocalization Analyzer calculates all the common pixel-based colocalization coefficients for multichannel images including Pearson, Spearman, Manders and Van Steensel. Different thresholding methods are available, and the colocalization is visually presented in a unique surface map projected on a MIP of the concerned channels. The analysis can be focused on a specific region of interest (ROI), and is more reliable when preceded by the correction of noise, blur, and background through true deconvolution, and by a Quality Control check for any additional imaging issues, such as hot/cold pixels, crosstalk and chromatic aberration. For object-based colocalization, we like to refer you to Huygens Object Analyzer.

Mis12 at kinetochore complex | Pearson = 0.458

Coloc_Analysis_U2OS
3D widefield image of a U2OS cell. Inset: Colocalization Analyzer-produced iso-surfaces (yellow) from pixels contributing 8% to the total Pearson colocalization (0.458) between labeled Mis12 (green) and Aurora B kinase (red). Huygens Deconvolution and Chromatic Aberration Correction was used for improving the reliability of the analysis. Data from Dr. Livio Kleij en Martijn Vroomans, UMC Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Synaptic protein at dendritic spines | Overlap = 0.281

Coloc Analysis Neuron
Colocalization Analyzer-produced colocalization map (left, yellow) shows regions of colocalization between a synaptic protein (green) and a dendrite (red) at the dendritic spine heads. 3D confocal image of brain tissue was deconvolved with Huygens before analysis. Data from dr. Nawal Zabouri and Mariska Willemsen, Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience.

Testimonials

Everything is working smoothly. The colocalisation module is very good, the best I have tested so far. Prof. Miguel Angel Peñalva Soto, group leader at Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, Madrid, Spain.
I previously used ImageJ for Colocalization Analysis, but I actually find Huygens much more convenient and easier to use, moreover, it is much faster and the results are more consistent [..]. Merel Stiekema, Dept. of Molecular Cell Biology, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Multi-channel images often suffer from chromatic aberrations and crosstalk (a.k.a. bleed-through), which should be corected before performing any quantitative analysis.
