Where science and art meet
Infinite-focus images of hard tissues generated by microscopy software were considered so extraordinary they have been featured in an art exhibition
Syncroscopy reports that its imaging system Auto-Montage has produced images of such outstanding quality that they have been shown as works of art Auto-Montage was used to capture and analyse many partially focused digital images of three-dimensional hard tissues such as bones and teeth

Software for 3D microscopy
Syncroscopy has launched Auto-Montage version 4 software, designed to help microscope users obtain perfectly focused images of three-dimensional samples in seconds
Many of the resulting infinite depth of focus images were considered so extraordinary they were featured in an art exhibition entitled, 'The microscope and the skeleton: A digital photomicrography of hard tissues' held at the Karl Leubsdorf art gallery in New York.
Timothy Bromage, professor of anthropology at the Analytical Microscopy and Imaging Centre in Anthropology (Amica) and curator of this show stated: "Using Auto-Montage we are now able to create stunning visual images of the microscopic world of hard tissues in a way that we could not possibly do using film-based media.
This software not only demonstrates the important relationship between science and new trends in graphic imaging but also represents a major advance in solving strategic research problems in the anthropological and biomedical sciences." Bob Town, Syncroscopy's general sales manager, added: "Since Amica is home to one of the USA's premier imaging laboratories within the social sciences we are honoured to see Auto-Montage being so successfully utilised in its research.

To have images generated by Auto-Montage that are so exceptional as to be worthy of being exhibited is a great testament to its capabilities and is an excellent way of showing any microscopists working with three-dimensional samples what incredible imaging power this system could bring to their research.".
