A Complete Concept in Personalisation

Olympus has introduced the new cellSens software for life science imaging applications. Consisting of three different packages: cellSens Entry, cellSens Standard and cellSens Dimension, all user requirements can be met with ease.

With the ability to perform simple image acquisition and documentation, cellSens Entry is ideal for basic image capture. The unique customisable interface provides complete control over a range of Olympus digital cameras to obtain live images in a number of formats, including AVI movies. Users can therefore capture the image they require, with ease. The cellSens Entry package can perform straight forward post-capture processing such as light intensity and white balance adjustments, and its layers file format enables the addition of arrows and annotation text without affecting the original image channels.

Building on the concept of cellSens Entry, the cellSens Standard software enables more advanced image capture, including time-lapse TWAIN acquisition. With advanced hardware control, processes such as objective and filter changes, focusing and internal shutter control can all be motorised, enhancing the user’s ability to precisely manage the acquisition. Supplied with extended geometry functions, images are easily manipulated via
mirroring, rotation, resizing, cropping and channel shifting. Creating additional flexibility, cellSens Standard can also convert bit-depth and colour-space settings to meet the capabilities of the computer system as well as
the requirements of the application.

Designed to offer the control and processing requirements for microscope-based experimental systems, the cellSens Dimensions software provides a broad range of advanced features as well as specialised, optional
solution modules. It is possible to successfully conduct a range of complex and highly sophisticated experiments, from extended focal imaging to multiple image alignment and multi-position imaging. In addition, live images can be transferred directly to the web using the netcam functionality, enabling rapid discussion with colleagues, wherever they are in the world.
