Software developed for data collected on confocal or multi-photon systems improves analysis of 3D laser scanning microscopy images
LaserVox is a powerful, interactive 3D visualisation and measurement software package designed especially for users of Bio-Rad Laser Scanning Microscopes (LSM).
It has some unique and easy to use features particularly developed for data collected on confocal or multi-photon systems.
With LaserVox 3D datasets can be rendered and orientated in a fully interactive way, to allow users to examine their data from any angle.
A host of rendering techniques from traditional maximum brightness to adaptive refinement allow every level of data to be visualised.
The opacity rendering technique allows users to change the opacity of the data in any or all of the channels to reveal structures obscured in other rendering modes.
The choice of 14 filters including haze removal allow features to be enhanced or diminished easily.
Areas or objects of interest identified using the variety of visualisation techniques can be removed or highlighted using the object-rendering feature.
Objects can also be measured to determine important information such as the volume of the structure of interest.
Interactive arbitrary cut-planes allow users to produce a cross section image from any orientation through their samples.
The flexible animation facility allows users to mix combinations of views, palettes and opacities.
This enables different structures to be highlighted, spun and faded out throughout the movies.
It is possible to open, work upon and resave data all in the Multi-Channel Bio-Rad Pic file format to ensure it remains perfectly calibrated in 3D from the time of collection through to the finished measurements.
LaserVox also supports other file formats.
