From DSLR cameras like Canon EOS, various microscopes and microscope cameras, IMS automatically determines the calibration and other image-relevant metadata.

As a system integrator, we attach great importance to the most complete integration of all image sources and encoded/motorized microscopes of our customers.

In research and development increasingly complex imaging devices such as confocal systems, slide scanners and electron microscopes are used. These devices create very large and proprietary 3D, 4D and 5D data sets. IMS provides readers for more than 180 such special formats, thus enabling the reading of relevant metadata for reporting as well as subsequent processing and presentation of image data.

Please provide the image formats to be read to your Imagic representative, we have a solution for you.

IMS module Multifocus for the compensation of a lack of depth of field

Living cells or entire tissue sections are three-dimensional objects with several levels of focus, which are automatically combined to a result image with high depth of field even at high magnifications.

IMS module High Dynamic Range „HDR“ for the compensation of high exposure differences

In fluorescence images, the differences in brightness are so large that strongly fluorescent regions (cell bodies) and fine cell peripheries (dendrites) can only be imaged by several image acquisitions, each with different exposure times as well as their combination. IMS module HDR provides this functionality fully automatically.

IMS module Panorama Scan for the acquisition of large samples at high resolution using XYZ scanning

With the optimal number of sub-images and automatic assembly, even for large samples you can achieve a representative overview image in the required resolution.

IMS Module Time Lapse for the documentation of living cell processes

Whether live cells in the area of Bioscience or long-term recordings in the quality laboratory in the pharmaceutical industry: the controlled recording of individual time intervals with automatic connection to a time-lapse film are just as possible as the recording of continuous films.

Even with best acquisition technology, postprocessing can often effect a significant optimization of the result image. Whether you want to adjust the depth of field, improve contrast, enhance colour, or simply rotate and cut, the IMS image processing module offers you a large number of image processing tools.

For efficient documentation of examinations, the IMS Measuring and Annotation module provides all basic functions such as distance, area, circle, angle and object counters. The following special functions are also supported:

• Live image measurement: single or serial measurements directly on the live image, with optional transfer to Excel
• Special measurements: guided measurement workflows such as for weld seam and hardness indentation
• Automated measurements: user-defined work flows with step-by-step user guidance

All measurement and annotation data can be saved as editable image overlay or can be irrevocably merged into the image.

With custom templates or directly in the application, with the IMS PowerPoint® and Word® modules, you work as usual in your Microsoft Office® environment. The difference is made by our certified add-in with many extra features, which makes it much easier to create presentations and reports and saves a lot of time.

Thanks to a permanent connection between PowerPoint® / Word® and the IMS database, images inserted into presentations or reports can be updated with measurements and labels for changes in seconds.

With the Large Data Viewer solution, large amounts of images can be directly and quickly visualized as 2D formats or multi-dimensionally, even with minimal network resources.

With the Large Data Viewer, IMS offers a uniform system for displaying and processing the virtual slides. Using current streaming technologies, several hundred gigabytes of data can be visualized quickly and in high quality. The data need not be sent as a complete file, but can be jointly assessed via the web with project partners, e.g. for a second opinion.

With the IMS Module Publisher, you enable easy, fast and secure web-based access to selected images and metadata to your colleagues or students without an IMS client installation. The compressed download is guaranteed as well as the support of watermarks to protect the data.

With the IMS Publisher, large video files for visualization are no longer to be loaded and sent as a whole, but are streamed by your partners simply and directly via the web.
