Abstract

Biocompatible 3D microstructures created with laser lithography and modified for optimal cell growth with laser grafting, can imitate the 3D structure cells naturally grow in. For the evaluation of the quality and success of those 3D microstructures, specialized software is required. Our software PySpot can load 2D and 3D images and analyze those through image segmentation, edge detection, and surface plots. Additionally, the creation and modification of regions of interest (ROI) allow for the quality evaluation of specific areas in an image by intensity analysis. 3D rendering allows for identifying complex geometrical properties. Furthermore, PySpot is executable on Windows as well as on Raspbian, which makes it flexible to use.
