Axiovision

Today, efficiency is increasingly important in the area of microscopy. Routine microscopic examinations are time-consuming and prevent you from concentrating on more important work. AxioVision, the entry-level digital from Carl Zeiss, does away with many of the time-consuming chores associated with the examination of large numbers of specimens. Now you can produce images with transmitted, incident, and fluorescence light techniques process, transmit or archive the images with unprecedented efficiency.

The main window is divided into two principal areas: the work area on the left-hand side and the document area on the right-hand side.

The software can support anything from basic TV cameras to high-resolution, light-sensitive cameras. As soon as you have the image you want on your monitor, all you have to do is click image acquisition. The image is then immediately available for processing or archiving. The digital microscope camera AxioCam from Carl Zeiss offers the very best image quality in all fields of work.

Image processing

AxioVision gives you all the tools you need for image enhancement:
  • Controls for contrast, brightness and color.
  • Various processes for enhancing focus and emphasizing details - noise suppression, smoothing, contour enhancement.
  • Correction of lighting conditions and control of white balance.

Insertion of text and graphic elements
Annotations

Images and annotations are stored separately. As a result, they are not permanently "burned" into the images, which means that it is possible to make changes at any time. AxioVision gives you a program that allows you to add any annotations you like to an image - everything from a scale to color markings and text or graphic elements. It is no longer necessary to switch to a special processing program. The corresponding scale is stored with each image and a scale can be automatically added at any time. Time-consuming, error-prone calculations to determine magnification factors are completely unnecessary.

Archiving

Electronic archiving is the future ending the requirement for photo albums. Digital data can be stored permanently. In addition to images, you can also store microscope settings and parameters such as lens, filter wheel positions, annotation and comments along with your images. Images can be easily located by using search terms, the date of production, specimen names or other designations. Since you can call up and display all data that go with any given image, you always have an overview of all information recorded with each image. Data are stored in a Microsoft Access compatible form and can also be processed through your intranet or extranet.

Generation of reports
report
  • AxioVision makes it possible to include all elements such as images, text, microscope parameters and annotations in reports, which can be individually prepared and designed with the help of a user-defined layout.
  • Layouts for combining images and comments are pre-defined for various paper and video printer formats.
  • Images can be printed out in standard magnification. Objects also appear on the printout in the proper scale.

Designed to support future applications

Everything changes, which that explains why our AxioVision software is specifically designed to anticipate future needs. The functions of the basic modules - imaging, processing, archiving, annotation, reporting and microscope control - can be quickly and easily expanded through the use of additional modules. Solutions can also be developed for specific applications such as advanced image acquisition, interactive measurements and a module to extend the depth of field.

Immediate availability

AxioVision is so convenient and easy to use that you can familiarize yourself with the various functions and features in virtually no time at all. The windows based user-friendly interface has many advantages:
  • A menu with clearly defined structures for a perfect overview. The menu is designed for optimum flexibility and elements not required for a given application can be removed from the screen to make operation easier.
  • On-line control, which means that any manipulations or changes can be viewed directly.
  • Convenient, logical adjustment of settings with slide controls or fields that make it possible to set desired parameters quickly and easily.
