Several open source software packages are used in histology for different purposes, such as:
Image analysis: Tools like ImageJ and QuPath are extensively used for analyzing histological images. These tools offer a wide range of functionalities, from basic image processing to complex quantitative analysis. Data management: Open source Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) like OpenSpecimen help manage histological data efficiently. Visualization: Software like ParaView aids in the visualization of 3D histological data, providing deeper insights into tissue structure.
