Intuitive and Adaptable Control for Microscopy Workflow and Digital Documentation

Olympus has introduced labSens – a complete documentation package for clinical and research imaging. The software provides a workflow-oriented user interface, ensuring that the key functions for digital imaging, analysis and documentation are clearly presented and easy to use. This is achieved by seamlessly combining the new Olympus BX3 clinical microscopes with digital-imaging cameras, as well as automation components, to provide the perfect conduit between the user, the process and the microscope system.

The labSens software programme meets all of the essential image-acquisition, processing and discussion needs of the modern clinical laboratory. Full support for the new Olympus BX3 clinical microscope systems and digital-imaging cameras, coupled with an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables the definition of the most important functions, allows users to develop a complete imaging solution to streamline their workflow. This results in the ideal interactive environment for acquiring, displaying, commenting on, measuring and handling images.

If the coded nosepiece is installed on the microscope the objective in use is automatically detected by the software so that the scale bar is set and recorded correctly in the meta data of an image. Once captured, labSens provides users with a number of essential image-processing tools including rotation and cropping.

The labSens software carefully manages images and associated meta-data, enabling the user to query existing data. This capability can be expanded further with the dedicated labSens Patho solution, which offers excellent data security and full traceability. labSens works with other standard software programmes, enabling the user to send images by email from within labSens, as well as to retrieve images easily from structured databases.
