Combined with all this the microscope is also equipped with a state of the art high resolution RGB Spot camera which now has upgraded software which will enable you to generate reports with high resolution color or black and white photos attached from within the Spot camera software. The software also enables you to annotate, highlight areas of interest and overlay a scale bar on your images. This laboratory is designed to accommodate a wide range of biological image analysis applications. The most common uses of the system for research involve the following categories. Planar morphometry Measuring lengths, areas, perimeters, and angles.
Calibration allows all measurements to be recorded in real units.
A wide variety of sampling tools exists, allowing for precise user control for defining regions of interest. Densitometry Quantifying the density of labeling relative to a set of standards of known density. This may involve autoradiography, immunostaining, gels, etc. This allows one to visualize the three dimensional structure of objects reconstructed from a set of serial or spaced sections. In addition, volumetric measurements can be made.
