Publications that use Pixcavator

Pixcavator is not only "as simple as a calculator", it's also as universally applicable as a calculator. It is not designed for any particular field of science or a particular type of images. It's based on math and math only. That's what makes Pixcavator as broadly used as it is. Just look at the journal titles below (in bold)!

These publications, that I am aware of, used Pixcavator and cellAnalyst as a tool and specifically give credit to our software:
