JULY 25--The analySIS Cell Imaging software series from Soft Imaging System (Münster, Westphalia, Germany; www.soft-imaging.net) offers application-oriented software tools for imaging methods used in cell and molecular biology. It focuses on the acquisition, processing, and analysis of multichannel fluorescences. Depending on the expansion level, these packages offer control of peripheral devices with intelligent acquisition methods; efficient in-depth processing; automatic analysis; structured image and data archiving; and automatic report generation.
Investigating dynamic processes requires precise triggering and remote controlling as well as automation of external devices. Cell Imaging centrally controls motorized light microscopes, cameras with trigger functionality, motor stages, motorized shutters, monochromators, filter wheels, and autofocus units.
Acquiring, processing, analyzing, and documenting dynamic in vivo processes via time-lapse, multichannel fluorescences and z-stacks require an all-around system tailored for common lab routines. Cell Imaging software combines automatic data and image acquisition with multifaceted functions for preparation and analysis, as well as structured archiving and documentation. Furthermore, Cell Imaging is easy to learn and can be automated.
