MetaMorph NX Microscopy Automation and Image Acquisition Software For nearly 25 years, MetaMorph® Software has given microscopists the means to gain extraordinary insight into cell morphology, function, and behavior. Researchers have relied on MetaMorph Software’s myriad options for microscope component integration, task automation, image acquisition using a variety of illumination and collection methods, and thorough data analysis. MetaMorph Software pioneered the bioresearch imaging industry and, with unsurpassed power and flexibility, it continues to be the best in its class. Introducing MetaMorph NX Software – The Best Gets Better • Easy-to-use on even the most complex tasks MetaMorph NX Software, the next generation of MetaMorph Software, reflects our commitment to ensuring that our customers’ experience is the best it can be. Without diminishing any of the features that facilitate comprehensive image acquisition and analysis, MetaMorph NX Software streamlines the workflow for all tasks and provides an entirely new user-centered interface. With one-click access to features, integrated hardware setup, and synchronized, unobstructed views of your data, you can become an imaging expert in minutes. • Clearly view and compare data • Simultaneous imaging data acquistion and analysis. • Enable unique applications through customization. Organized Workspace Coupled With A Faster Workflow In the new patent-pending Dataset View, all of the images and data that belong to a dataset stay together in one organized workspace. The Dataset View displays images in a grid using a layout that you specify – select a view mode to organize any number of images by time point, channel (wavelength), stage position, Z position, and so on. Or, view a composite overlay of channels on one image and turn on or off the display of each channel. When your image looks the way you want it, export it to PowerPoint with one click. Product Highlight Display large amounts of data without sacrificing clarity. Multiple Dataset Views may be positioned sideby-side horizontally or vertically to compare various aspects of the same dataset or different datasets. For example, to compare images acquired at three different sites, simply open three Dataset Views and, in each Dataset View, select a stage position from the list on the Home tab. Align the Dataset Views to easily see the images acquired at all three sites. A filmstrip at the bottom of the Dataset View displays thumbnail images, augmenting the image navigation options. Zoom and pan all displayed images at once, scale images of any bit depth, and assign colors to channels to further investigate even the most subtle objects in your images. The tab-based “ribbon” interface provides convenient access to the most commonly used options. Select an acquisition mode and only the options that are relevant to the mode appear, guiding you quickly through the task by providing just the right tools at the right time. The ribbon’s left-to-right workflow sets the path for hardware configuration, experiment setup, image acquisition, and data analysis, while extensive tooltips and online help offer assistance along the way. To make things even easier, you can create your own shortcuts to the options you use most. Built-in Hardware Setup and Device Control Installing and configuring microscope devices and cameras takes only a few steps using the options on the Hardware Setup tab. MetaMorph NX Software does not impose limits on how hardware is configured—any supported component can be configured as a magnification or illumination component. And, because MetaMorph NX Software leverages the

of drivers throughout its history, it supports more highquality drivers for devices and components than any other imaging software application on the market. acquired and run multiple measurements at the same time. Multithreading also allows for asynchronous control of hardware peripherals, improving the speed of acquisitions. Exceptional Display Performance and Multi-Tasking Capability Comprehensive Uncomplicated Image Acquisition Optimum image and data display performance is ensured through configurable cache and display memory settings which let you determine how memory is allocated to...

planes in an image at once without needing to write a journal or script. Once you measure images, you can sort and graph the results. Each set of measurement results and the settings used to make the measurement are automatically saved with the dataset and can be accessed, reconfigured, and filtered using MetaMorph NX Software at any time. In the Dataset View, you can arrange images next to tables and graphs to explore how measurements made on some or all of the images relate to the dataset as a whole, to other measurements, and to the visual information in the images. When you have sorted...
