For image processing we rely on the following Python packages:

• image input/output: Vips, ImageIO, BeautifulSoup

• background correction: Scikit-Image

• local thresholding: pyThreshold

• cell segmentation: OpenCV

• curve fitting: SciPy

• plot rendering: Matplotlib

The graphical user interface (GUI) builds on top of the Qt application frame work via the PySide6 Python bindings. Frontend dialogs were created with Qt Designer.

For automated testing we rely on pyTest and Coverage.py. Code quality is assured by Flake8. Packaging is handled by Flit. The documentation is rendered by Sphinx using the MyST parser to process the Markdown input and the Furo theme to style the HTML output.
