Sequence

– 사용자 편의성을 고려하여 설계된 새로운 캡처 인터페이스 지원
– 적정 노출시간을 벗어난 영상에 대한 자동 보정 기능 제공.
– 반투명한 미리보기 기능의 추가로 이미지의 tiling, stitching, aligning 등의 편의성 제공
– 카메라, 스캐너, 외부 저장장치 등으로부터의 이미지 획득 기능.
– 카메라나 응용 기능에 대한 설정값의 변경과 저장이 한번의 클릭으로 가능.
– 촬영 간격과 전체시간 조절 등의 사용자 정의에 따른 다양한 multiple images의 획득.
(동영상 및 Z-stack 이미지 획득)
– Sequence을 통한 동영상(Z-Stack포함)의 획득, 편집 및 재생 기능 지원.
– 24 / 36 / 48-bit의 컬러 영상과 8 / 12 / 16-bit의 흑백영상 등 다양한 컬러 이미지 지원.
Image Processing
EDF Tool

– EDF(Extended Depth of Field; 멀티포커스) 모듈을 이용하여 국부
적인 초점영상들을 조합하여 하나의 깨끗한초점 영상으로 합성.
– 새로운 EDF Test Strips를 이용하여 모든 EDF옵션을 이미지상에
서 한번의 클릭으로 자동으로 테스트가 가능.
Composite Image

– 새로운 Dye Manager를 이용하여 형광파장으로부터 얻어진 흑백
이미지에 Dyes를 적용하여 컬러 이미지로 재현.
Measure
Measurement

– 각각의 객체에 대한 수동적인 측정을 할 수 있는 툴로서 위치 및
길이, 면적, 각도, 최단거리 등을 측정하는 기능.
– 각각의 측정 데이터는 실시간으로 갱신되며, 통계 데이터의 자동
산출 기능이 지원.
– 측정된 데이터를 엑셀과 같은 다른 worksheet로의 변환이 용이.
Manual Tag

– 객체를 수동으로 태그하여 카운팅하고 등급별로 분류하는 기능.
– 분류 기준에 따라 Class를 달리하여 집계하는 기능 지원.
