Syncroscopy Launches Quantage Microscopy Software
Syncroscopy (Cambridge, England) has launched Quantage, a new dynamic range imaging system. This software allows users to rapidly generate high quality images of samples that are normally too bright or too dark for the camera to capture.
Quantage works by automatically capturing a series of images taken at different exposure times from a remotely controlled camera. The content of each image is assessed and those areas that are emitting too much or too little light are combined to produce one perfectly exposed image. The Quantage image can then be visualised, analysed, printed or stored for later use.
For analysis, live images generated by the software can be viewed in full colour using AcQuis, Syncroscopy's colour image capture software or as an infinite depth of focus image with Auto-Montage, Syncroscopy's system for generating complete images of three-dimensional samples.
Quantage can create images with over 64,000 light intensity levels ensuring users can capture and analyse even faint areas. This is said to make it ideal for accurate sample quantification, which will be of particular benefit to microscopists using fluorescent samples emitting light levels too low for a camera to photograph adequately.
