ScanImage & Ephus Users

Be Counted!

If your lab/entity is or will soon be actively using/trying ScanImage and/or Ephus, please respond to the (brief) 2011-2012 USER SURVEY if you haven't already.

We now require a response to this brief, periodic (every year or two) survey from each lab as part of our terms-of-use. We need this accurate head count of the number of labs, rigs, and users of ScanImage and Ephus in order to justify continued long-term funding for these development efforts.

As of 6/6/2012, 158 ScanImage-using labs and 67 Ephus-using labs have self-identified via the ongoing user survey, including current and beginning users and those definitely planning to use/try ScanImage/Ephus in 2012.

You can see highlights of the survey below and/or browse the detailed results (live updated).

Informal Count

Since 2008, there have been over 300 registrations on the ScanImage/Ephus wiki site.

Informally, we presently count over 100 labs believed to be actively using ScanImage – based on our conversations with users and the community.

We are currently running the 2011-2012 ScanImage/Ephus Usage Survey to get a more formal count of the number of labs, rigs, and users employing ScanImage/Ephus, as we prepare to apply for renewed funding.

Survey Results (12-28-2011)

As of 12/28/2011, 76 ScanImage-using labs and 34 Ephus-using labs have self-identified via the ongoing user survey, including both current users and those definitely planning to use/try ScanImage/Ephus in 2011-2012.
