More comfort in digital microscopy
Carl Zeiss MicroImaging introduces version 4.6 of the AxioVision software for digital microscopy in biomedicine and materials applications
Version 4.6 AxioVision software, which also supports the Axio Observer microscopes with incubation modules launched by Zeiss in October 2006, features new functions and improved convenience for the recording, archiving, processing, analysis and reconstruction of images Carl Zeiss now offers the following modules: topography, online measurement, physiology, and digital high speed recorder

When 3D microscopy isn't enough
3D fluorescence imaging taken to a new dimension with software to enable viewing in time, opening up new insights into biological functions and interrelations
The topography module permits roughness measurements according to EN ISO 4287 in height maps generated from Z-stacks taken with light microscopes and stereomicroscopes.
The online measurement module allows users to project grids, reticles and measurements in online images.
In addition to the new modules, many existing features have been improved, including a new wavelet algorithm to calculate of extended depth of focus images at high quality.
Furthermore, it is possible to compensate automatically for the lateral displacement of Z-stack images taken with stereomicroscopes.
Functions for the evaluating data and thus enabling the generation of statistics and histograms have also been added to the software package.
So far, external evaluation programs (eg Microsoft Excel) had to be used for this purpose.
A new mode of Inside 4D allows the simultaneous display of transparency and surface render methods.
The section plane mode enables the shaded display of section planes so that the user can 'look into' 3D structures.
