VOXBLAST is VayTek's 3D Reconstruction, Measurement and Visualization software. To explore VoxBlast's advanced features, download a free demo version. See our latest offering of free movie scripts below: FREE DOWNLOAD --VoxBlast (3D) SAMPLE MOVIE SCRIPTS -- These are sample scripts to generate complex movie loops. If you want to create movies with more than simple rotation, you need to save the individual frames from each iteration of your changes to the rendered 3D image. This manual operation can be tedious and time consuming. If you plan to repeat the process, you can write a script file using a simple text editor, to execute VoxTalk commands that will automate the process. Here are two sample scripts that can get you started. The scripts are commented to help you understand how to use the VoxTalk commands. Click here to download the first script, which performs a complex rotation in the X, Y, and Z axes. Each axis uses a different increment algorithm. The result of this movie generation script can be seen in the Rat Lung Alveoli movie loop. Click here to download the second script, which uses the Ortho Limit function to "cut through" a volume. The object starts from the front view, rotates to an oblique view, then cuts away the object slice by slice.     Princeton Instruments, inc.    VayTek has added Princeton Instruments Cooled CCD Cameras to their line of image acquisition hardware. One of the advantages of the MicroMAX concept is the large variety of CCD types that are supported within the product line so the user can choose the optimal CCD sensor for his/her application type. The RTE head of the MicroMAX is small and round with a flush front surface that has a standard C-mount thread for easy attachment to microscope video type adapters. The MicroMAX cameras from Princeton Instruments use the highest grade surface finish available for optical windows.     Photometrics    VayTek has developed a FREE Interface for the Sensys and Quantix cameras from Photometrics. This interface for Windows 95 requires a 16 bit driver from Photometrics and a PCI card. Users can download the free interface, or contact VayTek to purchase an upgraded version of the interface. Photometrics Sensys -- an affordable digital camera for microscopy, which offers high spatial resolution, with three scientific CCD arrays, with up to 1536 x 1024 pixels low-light sensitivity, incorporating Primary Point Digitization(TM) and thermoelectric cooling high intensity resolution, with three programmable, 12-bit detection modes (4,096 gray levels) guaranteed performance, shipped with a detailed Calibration and Specification Certificate compatibility with VayTek software Photometrics Quantix -- a CCD camera that provides superior image quality. delivers low read noise at readout rates of 5 million pixels per second. Quantix provides superior image quality, linearity and sensitivity for time-resolved and/or low-light environments. three imaging modes: high sensitivity to detect weak signals; high dynamic range to measure bright and dim signals within the same image; and high signal-to-noise ratio for bright-field imaging software control easily changes imaging modes, region of interest and binning cooling to -25°C with self-contained forced-air cooling system cooling to -35°C with available liquid circulation unit compatible with VayTek software Contact VayTek for more information on Photometrics options, system configurations, and technical specifications. See Eric Rayboy's site for New technology for 3D Lenticular Panel Presentations <http://www.3dhardcopy.com> -- "Print" your 3D VoxBlast images. VayTek's new Tracing Station is the perfect companion to 3D Lenticular technology. University of Heidelberg to Publish VayTek Image Researchers at the University of Heidelberg are collaborating on a book, "Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications," to be published by Academic Press late in 1998. VayTek's deconvolution software, MicroTome(TM), was tested by the researchers and found to be the best, most accurate program available. One or more images processed by scientists using MicroTome will be included in a chapter called "Dynamic Fluorescence Imaging." When the book is published, we will announce it here and will provide you with purchasing information. New Tracing Station VayTek Introduces Tracing Station VayTek's Tracing Station can be customized to your needs. There can be several sources of input, including cameras, microscopes, scanners and tracing tablets. VayTek can provide all of the hardware and software needed for the Tracing Station. Use a camera attached to a microscope to capture images of sectioned tissue, prepared specimens, etcetera. Use a scanner attached to a computer to digitize images of photographs, transparencies, etcetera. Use the tracing tablet to trace the digitized images on the computer or to trace photographs directly on the tablet for processing. Tracing can be combined with several of VayTek's modules for counting and measuring on your traced images. New and customized modules can be created for your special needs. Selecting and studying only your ROI (region of interest) is greatly facilitated with the Tracing Station. Output from the tracing modules can be manipulated in several ways. Traces can be input into VoxBlast for 2D or 3D visualization. The traces can be embedded into the original grayscale images for viewing. Volume measurements can be generated from the traces. View the graphical output as traces, as traces embedded in grayscale images, as solid, filled traces, or as animated movie loops. View the measurement data from your traces in a tabular format saved in an ASCII file or in a spreadsheet. Send your data to a statistics program for further analysis and output. The output from the trace measurements and counts can be input into a statistics program or spread sheet for additional analysis. These various means of viewing the output make excellent, printed documents to add to publications of your research, grant applications or to poster presentations. For more information on the Tracing Station, contact VayTek, or visit the VayTek booth at an upcoming tradeshow. World Book to Publish VayTek Images Science writers at World Book are developing a book entitled, "Your Future Self," to be published late in 1998. The text is written so that it may be understood by middle school and high school students and by laypersons interested in medical imaging and research. VayTek's 3D Volume Visualization software, VoxBlast(TM), will be featured in the book. When the book is published, we will announce it here and will provide you with purchasing information. This will be an opportunity for both teachers and students to see higher-quality, higher resolution scientific images than can be viewed on Web sites.   Home Page|Product Guide|Imaging Mall|FAQ|Contact Us|Distibutors |Application Notes
