Bitplane is delighted to announce the release of Imaris 6.2. This latest version of our software includes many new features to enhance the performance of your Imaris system and to increase available functionality.
Imaris 6.2 features significant increases in performance for most image processing filters and object creation steps when utilizing a single processor. Imaris 6.2 also has the ability to use multiple processor cores or multiple processors for most image processing functions. Combined these enhancements and new features will make Imaris faster than ever before and save you valuable time.
Imaris 6.2 adds additional statistical measurements and selection methods based on statistics. For objects that have values that change over time, a plot is now created in Imaris to show this change over time for each selected object. Users can spot points of interest in the plot, select those time points on plot and the visual view within Surpass will change accordingly! For objects that are tracked, instantaneous velocity is now calculated for each object in X, Y, and Z at each time point. Displacement is now shown in X, Y, and Z as well as total displacement. Both parameters can be used for filtering, classification, and selection. For images that contain multiple objects, the average of each statistical parameter for all objects in the image is now calculated.
Imaris 6.2 adds many new features to FilamentTracer. One of the most significant features iterative creation of tracings. Automatically or manually trace a small region, using the new region of interest (ROI), then use this traced area as a starting point to continue automatic, semi-automatic or manual tracing. The combination of these new features allows for tracing of only specified areas, tracing of images that have no easy starting point, and tracing of images that are extremely large.
There are too many new additions to Imaris to list in the space of this announcement so for more information about the additions to Imaris 6.2 please visit our New Features webpage or see the Release Notes.
