Detection of nuclei in early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo

---

Brief information about this project:

• We developed a system that detects nuclei in early embryos of Caenorhabditis elegans using images taken by a 4-dimensional (4D) Nomarski differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope.

Software:

• Requirements
  
• The programs run in a personal computer, whose OS is the Linux Fedora Core 3. If you cannot prepare the same computer environment nor execute the programs, contact us and give you instructions or the other binary programs that would run in your computer environment. The program does not support the Apple Macintosh platform.
