Tutorial files and instrutctions included. It automatically recognizes and reads several image file format like NanoScope II and III, TopoMetrix, Park, RasterScope, RHK, Quesant, IBM, Omicron, Burleigh, Wyko, Zygo, BCR-SDF, Bitmap, Tiff and can be instructed to read most other topographic file formats. This is the version of interest to probe microscopists. Here is general description of Image's features.

Image can be used to measure area, mean, centroid, perimeter, etc. of user defined regions of interest. It also performs automated particle analysis and provides tools for measuring path lengths and angles. Spatial calibration is supported to provide real world area and length measurements.
