Streamline and accelerate discovery by exploring large multi-channel and time series imaging data

Thanks to accelerated innovations in microscopy, life scientists now have access to a growing suite of imaging tools and techniques. Used alone or in combination with one another, high-powered instruments give researchers new ways to study biomolecular activity and advance their respective scientific discoveries.

Yet, the increase in adoption of microscopy techniques in life science research has resulted in an increase in the size and volume of imaging data acquired.

This abundance of data is challenging the memory limits of workstations while also requiring imaging software that is optimised to handle such high-resolution, multi-channel and time series data.

With the new Xplore5D extension for Thermo Scientific™ Amira™ Software, life scientists can easily visualise, correlate, and process large multi-channel and time series data in one environment, without worrying about image size or memory limits. With its smart file format, Xplore5D allows users to compress all imaging data without losing precious information collected during acquisition.

Amira Software is a powerful platform for visualising, manipulating, and understanding life science research data from many image modalities, including light sheet fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, CT, MRI, and other techniques. By including Xplore5D in its suite, Amira Software now addresses the growing challenges of handling large imaging data, helping life scientists improve productivity and enabling the build of meaningful answers to complex research questions across structural and cellular biology, tissue imaging, neuroscience, preclinical imaging, and bioengineering.

Xplore5D offers researchers easy data conversion and compression with immediate visual feedback, allowing them to quickly interact with and communicate on large 3–4D+ data. With the deep learning capabilities of Amira Software and reliable analysis results, Xplore5D enables the transfer of complex workflows into simple, reproducible processing recipes for future use, even by non-imaging specialists.

High-quality renderings allow researchers to build 3D volume visualisation and animations for better analysis, communication, and collaboration. Cutting-edge correlative analysis offers researchers the benefit of visualising a range of acquired images across resolution and scale in one environment.

Thermo Fisher Scientific is helping to streamline and accelerate scientific discovery in life sciences through technological advancements to data management and analysis. Amira Software with Xplore5D uses automation to support a streamlined workflow, reproducible results, and enhanced communication and collaboration. By automating, combining, and simplifying data management capabilities, Amira Software with Xplore5D will help scientists increase productivity and turn research and discovery into action.
