Description

Image-Pro Discovery provides easy-to-use measurement and analysis tools needed for various scientific, medical, and industrial applications. It offers all the functionality of Image-Pro Express along with an extended list of enhancement and measurement tools and the ability to add applications specific plug-ins.

 

Image-Pro Discovery is the ideal solution for research professionals who need a solution with advanced measurement and image analysis capabilities, but do not wish to write their own macros or plug-ins.

Key Benefits of Image-Pro Discovery:

  • Spend Time on What’s Important – Image-Pro Discovery’s user-friendly environment enables you to spend less time learning to use your software and more time analyzing and learning from your images.
  • Get Repeatable Results -Easily guarantee fast and repeatable results by taking advantage of Image-Pro Discovery’s many measurement tools.
  • Add Multi-Dimensional Imaging – Further extend the functionality of Image-Pro Discovery with the following integrated plug-in modules: Scope-Pro automated microscope control, AFA advanved fluorescence acquisition, SharpStack image deconvolution, and 3D Constructor three-dimensional reconstruction and measurement.
  • Grows with Your Needs – As your imaging requirements grow, you may upgrade to the full power of Image-Pro Plus easily and at an affordable price.
3D Constructor is for scientific researchers who wish to explore three-dimensional relationships within and among objects. The latest version adds interactive and automatic measurement capabilities in three and four dimensions. Image Z-stacks can be reconstructed and measured within the popular Image-Pro Plus environment.

Key Benefits 3D Constructor:

  • Smooth Workflow – 3D Constructor integrates seamlessly with Image-Pro Plus.
  • Expose Hidden Relationships – The ability to visualize your image data as volumes (3D) and volumes through time (4D) allows you to expose relationships between and among images that are difficult to explore in two dimensions.
  • Return Quantitative Data – The new measurement features in 3D Constructor allow you to gather multiple varieties of measurement data both manually and automatically.

System Requirements

  • Image-Pro Plus v4.5.1 or higher
  • Pentium III or Athlon CPU, running at 800 Mhz or higher
  • Microsoft® Windows 2000 or XP Professional
  • 512 MB of RAM (1GB or better recommended)
  • Disk drive for installation, images, and virtual memory (40 GB or better recommended)
  • Color monitor displaying 16-bit high color (24 or 32-bit color preferred)
  • Additionaly, for 3D Constructor: OpenGL accelerated graphics card with support for texture mapping and with 64MB or better (The ability of a display card to successfully operate in the 3D Constructor environment is highly dependent on the quality of the software drivers. In our experience, the drivers provided by NVIDIA® for their GeForce series of display cards (GeForce2 through GeForce FX) provide the most robust OpenGL support.)
