New budget software for generating in-focus images of 3-D samples selects and combines the focused areas from source image files captured by any digital camera
On Stand G3 at MicroScience 2004, Syncroscopy showed a new range of software and systems designed to rapidly capture and create the most accurate images from a microscope.
A first at MicroScience is Auto-Montage Essentials, a new budget software for generating in-focus images of 3-D samples.
Based on Auto-Montage, the leading image reconstruction technology invented by Syncroscopy, Auto-Montage Essentials selects and combines the focused areas from source image files (Bitmap, JPEG and TIFF format) captured by any digital camera.
It then produces an in-focus "montage" image, as well as a Depth Map and 3-D anaglyph in seconds.
For microscopists requiring advanced 3-D imaging software, Syncroscopy is also showing its new Auto-Montage Pro.
This software, with its clean split image/user interface screen directly acquires source images from an optical microscope and it can save users time by automatically choosing the correct number of source images to capture using its image collection calibration.
For optimum imaging of different samples, the software has a range of montaging methods, and a measurement option is available to automate analysis of sample length, depth and volume.
Syncroscopy is also exhibiting its SyncroScan range of automated microscope sample scanning systems.
These systems, which attach easily to most microscopes, can scan at up to 25 fields a second, automatically collecting and stitching each image to build one large interactive image map.
Using SyncroScan increases both productivity and accuracy, making it ideal for histology or pathology studies.
Martin Smith, Syncroscopy's Divisional Manager commented: "With the introduction of a low cost version of Auto-Montage, we believe Syncroscopy now offers the widest choice of software and systems for generating images of exceptional quality.
We will be pleased to discuss how these great new products can meet the needs of any microscopists that visit us on Stand G3 at MicroScience 2004."
