[. . . ] LAS Image Analysis Automatic Analysis of Multiple Image Features Meaningful Results LAS Image Analysis is a sophisticated software module that automatically performs feature detection, measurement and the evaluation of multiple image features. In conjunction with the Leica digital camera and microscope control, LAS can be used in a diverse range of imaging fields. [. . . ] A selection of binary processing operations are provided and these can be tested interactively to ensure that the image is optimised appropriately. Once you have selected a method that is suitable, the conditions can be stored for use with further images. LAS Image Analysis also provides manual `image editing' for the occasions when a more hands on approach is preferable. This allows you to indicate regions suitable for analysis or to identify the features to be measured and remain in complete control of the specimen. 2 Effortless Feature Measurements Once the binary image has been produced, the features in this image can be measured to give a variety of morphological information such as size, shape and position. The large number of parameters available gives you the option of selecting the information that is most appropriate to your sample to give you a meaningful characterisation of your specimen. When the measurement has been completed, the resulting data is stored for review, summary, and interpretation. Raw data can be examined and statistics calculated in order that trends can be identified, whilst histograms and pie charts can be plotted to further organise the specimen information. Result data can then be outputed to a Microsoft Excel template so that customised reports can be created and further calculations derived. Key benefits: · An easy to use sequence control that guides you through the whole set up process for acquisition, detection and measurement. · Save and recall settings and configurations to exactly recreate the same conditions at a later date · Sophisticated measurements on individual features including size, shape, position, orientation and intensity · Create meaningful results with a range of analysis tools inlcuding statistics, histograms and pie charts 3 "With the user, for the user" Leica Microsystems Leica Microsystems operates internationally in four divi sions, where we rank with the market leaders. · Life Science Division The Leica Microsystems Life Science Division supports the imaging needs of the scientific community with advanced innovation and technical expertise for the visualization, measurement, and analysis of microstructures. Our strong focus on understanding scientific applications puts Leica Microsystems' customers at the leading edge of science. The statement by Ernst Leitz in 1907, "with the user, for the user, " describes the fruitful collaboration with end users and driving force of innovation at Leica Microsystems. We have developed five brand values to live up to this tradition: Pioneering, Highend Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to Science, and Continuous Improvement. For us, living up to these values means: Living up to Life. Order nos.
