Special Edition (SE) is an introductory
package that features image acquisition, simple image processing, interactive (manual)
measurements, and report and database integration. Although geared toward users who
typically want to document what they see under the microscope, there is more to this
package than meets the eye. SE includes software control of Olympus motorized microscopes.
This package is available bundled with a camera, or unbundled for use with previously
purchased cameras. SE is available as a stand-alone software package or bundled with
the following cameras:
- DP12,
DP30, &
DP72
- FVII,
CC12, CVII, & CVIII
- MicroFire,
MacroFire, & QuantiFire
- Q-Color3
& Q-Color5
The Basic Edition builds upon the
above features with additional functionality, including visualization tools for stacks
and slices, Multi-color Fluorescence Information Processing (MFIP), Multiple Image
Alignment (MIA), Extended Focal Imaging (EFI), macro-recording, and remote visualization
of an image over the Internet via the NetCam
interface.
In addition to all the features above, the
Biological Suite offers automated particle analysis and stage navigation to acquire
large overview images with a motorized stage.
The Analytical Suite is designed for
users who want the same advanced functionality as in Biological Suite, but dont have a
need for MFIP.
The Advanced Suite includes the Image
Sequence Processing (ISP) module for multidimensional time-lapse, the Voxel Viewer for
3D rendering, Well Navigator for multi-well and array processing, and the Rapid Image
Deconvolution (RIDE) module, which uses AutoQuants no-neighbor, nearest neighbor, and
inverse filter algorithms.
Other Application Modules can be added
to increase the functionality of most of the packages.

NetCam is an exciting feature included in MicroSuite FIVE Pathology Edition and higher level packages. Designed for use with the Olympus DP71, DP30, DP25, and DP20 cameras, and Olympus-Soft Imaging Solutions FireWire cameras (FVII, CC12, CVII, and CVIII) and Altra 20 CMOS camera, NetCam uses TCP/IP to broadcast a live image over the Internet via an assigned static IP address. Up to fifty remote "Client" computers can simultaneously log on and view a live or captured image from a camera placed on a microscope in another physical or geographical location using a standard web browser and the IP address of the microscope imaging system ("Server") that is running MicroSuite FIVE with NetCam. The primary user can manually or automatically adjust the microscope and camera parameters, capture, annotate, and send images, and control access by remote users. Remote users can view live images passively at 800 x 600 or 640 x 480 pixel resolution, and captured images at full resolution or compressed, for faster transmission. Remote users have no control over the camera or the microscope.
