Imaris is a commercial software package for visualisation, segmentation, and quantitation of 3D and 4D imaging data. CALM provides a limited number of floating licenses for Imaris.

CALM workstations and Virtual Machines

We also provide access to Imaris on the following systems:

  • 3 physical workstations, located in SW311. Can also be accessed remotely.
  • 2 virtual machines (VM_IM).

Imaris is pre-installed in all of these systems, and ready to use. You can book time through these machines through PPMS, as you would with other imaging equipment.

⚠️ Important: You must be connected to the Crick network to access the license server. If you’re working remotely, ensure you are connected to the Crick VPN before proceeding.

How to Set Up and Access a Floating License

Please follow the instructions available on the Intranet.

Important notes

  • 🔒 Licenses are limited, so please:
    • Only use Imaris when needed.
    • Log out and close Imaris when you’re done to free up the license for your fellow researchers!
