IVE and Priism Information

Priism is a collection of tools for processing, analyzing, and visualizing multidimensional imagery with a focus on 3D wide-field optical microscopy and EM tomography. IVE (Image Visualization environment) is the core set of software libraries that are the foundation for the tools in Priism. The two are available as a package for IRIX 6.5, x86 Linux, and Mac OS X.
