™Huygens Colocalization Analyzer
With unique 3D visualization
Huygens Colocalization Analyzer produces all the common 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 Huygens deconvolution, and correction for hot/cold pixels, crosstalk, and chromatic aberration.

Object analysis for investigating local colocalization
Mis12 at kinetochore complex | Pearson = 0.458
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
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.

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 [..].
