July 21, 2009 – Bethesda, MD - Media Cybernetics announces the release of Image-Pro Plus Version 7.0, image processing and analysis software package. Image-Pro Plus is used worldwide by thousands of research professionals in a range of applications including life science research, quality control, industrial inspection, as well as forensic and physical sciences.
“This major version upgrade provides faster image handling, multi-dimensional acquisition improvements, new surface analysis tools, and the option to acquire live focused and tiled images,” adds Kathy Hrach, Product Manager at Media Cybernetics.
Users of Image-Pro Plus v.7.0 now have the option to add the Live Tiling and EDF module which allows acquisition and tiling of large images and in-focus composite images live – without an automated microscope stage or focus drive. This module is available at a promotion price now through September 30th 2009.
Additionally, the new Just-in-Time Loading feature saves time by loading multi-frame image sets on demand, resulting in extremely fast load and play times. This feature is available for Image-Pro sets, sequences, and TIFF sequences. The fastest Image-Pro load time ever offered can now open any size set at the speed of a single image.
Image-Pro Plus 7.0 includes microscope and stage automation tools which were previously available only as add-ons. Users can control their microscope stages in any X, Y, or Z direction and control motorized filter wheels, shutters, filter sliders, and lamp settings. Automation speeds have also been accelerated for the following microscopy hardware: Prior ProScan Controllers; Olympus Microscope Stands (BX-61 and IX-81); Sutter Lambda 10-3; and Ludl MAC.
Other new features include the optional 3D Surface Inspector tool which allows researchers to explore the depth of their z-stacks using manual measurements. In addition to quantitative analysis tools, users can create beautifully illuminated 3D visualizations and AVI animations to share with others. A new Macro Browser (formerly the Macro Player) ensures quick access to a variety of timesaving macros. New macros are also available in the Macros Menu.
