Belfast, Northern Ireland, 1 December 2010 – Andor Technology plc (Andor), a world leader in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, and Bitplane, a world leader in volume rendering, visualisation and data analysis software, are now offering a winning combination with Andor’s confocal microscopy systems. Every Andor Systems Imaging workstation will now include an Imaris license allowing users to experience the benefits Imaris brings in visualisation and analysis of 3D, 4D and 5D data sets acquired with Andor systems.
Andor’s microscopy systems provide researchers with high performance solutions for a broad range of microscopy techniques, especially targeting live tissues, cells and embryos. Integrating Imaris into high-end iQ2 imaging workstations provides not only state of the art acquisition performance, but also industry-leading data visualisation and analysis tools, including 3D measurements, dynamic spot and cell tracking and colocalization analysis.
Andor acquired Bitplane in December 2009 and this is the first time both products have been packaged together in a powerful imaging workstation. Since the acquisition, the companies’ software teams have added a range of features to ease software cooperation, including rapid image and metadata exchange to ensure efficient operation and ease of use. The combination of Andor’s microscopy systems and Bitplane’s Imaris software will ensure users have the most advanced and complete acquisition, visualisation and analysis packages available in the market.
