PR Newswire (US)
WOBURN, Mass., July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambridge Research &
Instrumentation, Inc. (CRi) and MDS Analytical Technologies
announced support for the highly regarded Nuance(TM) multispectral
imaging system from within the popular MetaMorph(R) software
package. Full support for both monochrome and multispectral imaging
using the Nuance system is provided, as well as binning, ROI, live
streaming video, movie capture, and autofocus for z-capable
hardware. Nuance protocols, spectral libraries, and image cubes may
be loaded into the MetaMorph program. In addition, raw or processed
images may be loaded into MetaMorph for further analysis or
exported as industry-standard TIFFs. "All supported commands can be
incorporated into MetaMorph software journals, so complex tasks can
be automated," noted James Mansfield, Director of Multispectral
Imaging Systems at CRi. "For example, after an existing Nuance
protocol is loaded, an image cube can be acquired using this
protocol. The individual components can be unmixed and the data
saved as TIFF files, and then read into MetaMorph software for
object-counting and reporting. The microscope stage can then be
moved to a new location, autofocused, and the previous steps
repeated." "MDS Analytical Technologies is pleased to work with CRi
and have MetaMorph used in the multi-spectral analysis application
area," said Andy Boorn, president of MDS Analytical Technologies.
"The combination of Nuance and MetaMorph creates a simple solution
for our customers to automate varied acquisition tasks and analyze
complex image data." MetaMorph compatibility will be introduced in
version 2.8 of CRi's Nuance software program on July 1, 2008.
Customers currently using version 2.4 or later are eligible for a
free update (contact CRi Customer Support for details). About MDS
