A standardized file format and open-source analysis framework for Brillouin microscopy data

Abstract

Brillouin microscopy is rapidly emerging as a powerful technique for imaging the mechanical properties of biological specimens in a label-free, non-contact manner. We present a standardized file format and open-source tools to facilitate the uptake and analysis of Brillouin microscopy related data and to unify this growing field.
