PerkinElmer has released a new cellular image data management and analysis software solution, the Columbus Scope platform, for microscopy labs.
Columbus Scope enables microscopists to curate, retrieve and re-analyse their image data, regardless of the source, PerkinElmer said.
The software platform can enhance microscopy in many therapeutic research areas, such as neurology, cancer, stem cells, developmental biology, immunology and infectious diseases.
Related innovations within the new Columbus platform include the new PhenoLOGIC machine-learning technology, which makes it simple for biologists performing high content analysis studies to create their own tailored image analysis algorithms.
Also added to the software applications are texture analysis capabilities, which enable scientists to measure and analyse changes in cells that morphology and intensity analysis alone cannot detect.
In addition, the Volocity 3D Image Analysis software, has been updated and now includes a downloadable free demonstration version.
