Freeware is computer software which is made available free of charge. Typically freeware is proprietary; distributed without source code.

Huygens freeware capabilities

The Huygens Software is partially freeware:

• The components of the Huygens Suite (like Huygens Essential) have many free functionalities when used without a License String. You can use them for example to read and convert between many File Formats, (as ICS or Tiff files), or to view 3D stacks with the Twin Slicer. Some of the freeware functionalities are:
  • Image read/write in many File Formats (a few special ones require a license)
  • 4D Intelligent Cropper
  • Volume Visualization: Twin Slicer and Sfp Renderer (as in the Free Sfp).
  • Multi Channel joining
  • Convert between different space and time dimensionalities
  • Invert the image
  • Mirror the image
• The stand-alone application Free Sfp is a completely freeware 3D volume renderer.

Moreover you can always test the image restoration (deconvolution), visualization and analysis Huygens tools fully and for free! Just contact SVI to → Test The Software!
