Bitplane Imaris 9.3 image analysis software for life science

Bitplane’s Imaris 9.3 is a software solution for correlative microscopy, enabling the possibility of opening multiple 2D, 3D or 4D datasets of differing spatial and temporal resolutions in the same scene. The image analysis software integrates ClearView GPU Accelerated Deconvolution algorithms for applications in spinning disk confocal, widefield fluorescence, brightfield, laser scanning confocal and TIRF microscopy.

The latest iteration of the software is capable of handling massive datasets and has added and broadly beneficial functionality. The design is said to powerfully improve workflow efficiency for image analysis processes, from deconvolution to batch analysis.

The Arena image browser mirrors the user’s file folder structure, so they can save their files anywhere and still have live thumbnail previews; the files are no longer saved only in a database with a specified location. Batch image processing with preview mode means image processing functions are added to object detection and batch processing. With the ClearView GPU Accelerated Deconvolution (with GPU processing compatible with NVidia and AMD graphics cards, that runs on both Macs and PCs), all the user’s image processing needs are found within Imaris in one place.

The product’s image processing features are accessible for batch processing. Users can preview the results before fully processing the images using a section viewer that quickly switches between a volume view and slice view. The user can then perform multiple processing steps at one time and add them to the batch processing pipeline.
