| Abstract | The arrival of electronic photodetectors in biological microscopy has led to a revolution in the application of imaging in cell and developmental biology. The extreme photosensitivity of electronic photodetectors has enabled the routine use of multidimensional data acquisition spanning space and time and spectral range in live cell and tissue imaging. These techniques have provided key insights into the molecular and structural dynamics of living biology. However, digital photodetectors offer another advantage-they provide a linear mapping between the photon flux coming from the sample and the electronic sample they produce. Thus, an image presented as a visual representation of the sample is also a quantitative measurement of photon flux. These quantitative measurements are the basis of subsequent processing and analysis to improve signal contrast, to compare changes in the concentration of signal, and to reveal changes in cell structure and dynamics. For this reason, many laboratories and companies have committed their resources to software development, resulting in the availability of a large number of image-processing and analysis packages. In this article, we review the software tools for image data analysis that are now available and give some examples of their use in imaging experiments to reveal new insights into biological mechanisms. In our final section, we highlight some of the new directions for image analysis that are significant unmet challenges and present our own ideas for future directions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
