SAN DIEGO, March 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Afraxis Inc, a leader in quantitative biological imaging, is very pleased to announce its new ImageDirectSM service, the world's first upload service for quantitative analysis of 3D biological images. ImageDirectSM offers a platform for AI-assisted, expert crowd-sourced human analysis with initial iteration optimized for 'Z-stack' images of neural tissue acquired by confocal scanning laser microscopy.
