Image SXM is a version of the public domain image analysis software NIH Image that has been extended to handle the loading, display and analysis of scanning microscope images. Image SXM supports SAM, SCM, SEM, SFM, SLM, SNOM, SPM and STM images from the following systems:

If users would like to see more file formats supported, then I am open to suggestions.
The need for software that can be customised to handle scanning microscopy images has been outlined in an article that I have written for the Royal Microscopical Society, entitled Software For Scanning Microscopy. It describes software packages that are available and outlines some of the customised features of Image SXM.

Five versions of Image SXM exist, though all except the most recent two are essentially redundant:
U |
Universal |
For any 68K Mac from the LC upwards |
( also suitable for some Mac emulators ) |
F |
FPU |
For 68K Macs that have a floating point unit |
( Mac II, Quadra, ... ) |
P |
PowerMac |
PowerPC code for PowerMacs only |
( also called the pre-Carbon version ) |
C |
Carbon |
Carbonised version of the PowerMac application |
( for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X ) |
X |
Xcode |
Intel version compiled using Xcode and
GNU Pascal |
( for Intel Macs only ) |
The SXM-related features are described by a set of on-line help pages that give a brief description of each of the new menu items and some guidance concerning the use of PC Exchange/File Exchange and FTP file transfer of image files (for those using a Mac to look at images produced by a PC or Unix workstation). Also, these new menus support Balloon Help or Help Tags. If the Help pages don't answer your question, try the FAQs page.
If you use Image SXM, then please use the 'User Feedback' form (in the Help menu) to feed back to me information about who you are, where you are, the SXM system that you use, and the Mac on which you run Image SXM. This feedback will help me in the development of future versions.

I have recorded talks
on the basics of image analysis and tutorials
on using Image SXM.
If you have problems, or any comments or
suggestions for new features that you would like to see in
future versions of Image SXM, then please email me.
