PerkinElmer Columbus Scope image data management and analysis software

The Columbus Scope platform is a cellular imaging software solution specifically designed for microscopy laboratories.

The Columbus Scope software suite provides microscopy labs with an affordable, ready-to-go solution for managing the large volumes of data that cellular imaging experiments generate over time. The system enables microscopists to curate, retrieve and re-analyse their image data, regardless of the source. The software platform can enhance microscopy in many therapeutic research areas, such as neurology, cancer, stem cells, developmental biology, immunology and infectious diseases.

Related innovations within the platform include the PhenoLogic machine-learning technology, which makes it simple for biologists performing high content analysis studies to create their own tailored image analysis algorithms. Also added to the software applications are texture analysis capabilities, which enable scientists to measure and analyse changes in cells that morphology and intensity analysis alone cannot detect. In addition, the Volocity 3D Image Analysis software has been updated and now includes a downloadable, free, demonstration version.

These software updates now enable cellular biologists to easily gain more valuable information from their cellular experiments and rapidly analyse quantitative data, improving the quality of their results and advancing scientific knowledge in many areas, including cellular sciences, cancer, stem cell research and neurological and infectious diseases.
