Nikon Instruments introduces Eclipsenet software for digital cameras

AUGUST 9--Nikon Instruments Inc. (Melville, NY; www.nikonusa.com) has introduced a new software product line--EclipseNet for Nikon digital cameras. This comprehensive package of imaging software tools can be used with Nikon's DXM 1200 and DN 100 digital cameras for biological and industrial image documentation and analysis. EclipseNet contains a powerful image-archiving and database engine utilizing Microsoft industry-standard database tools.

EclipseNet was designed to read all common image file formats and utilizes the new JPEG2000 standard as its native file-saving image format (program also reads BMP, TIF and GIF). JPEG2000 allows for lossless image compression while maintaining superior image quality and the capacity to track image changes and alterations. The software offers various modes for interactive measurement and exports to clipboard or files enabling further statistical analysis in programs like Excel. Also, the size of the image is limited only by the system capacity.
