Cell biology

Amira Software for cell biology

Comprehensive and versatile software pushing the boundaries in the understanding of cell structure and mechanisms.

Understanding cell structure and mechanisms

Understanding cell structure and mechanisms requires analysis of data from various imaging systems and modalities that all use different file formats. Each experimental setup can represent a unique challenge to process the data. Multi-scale dynamic processes require tracking of various sized objects, from diffraction-limited particles to entire cells. There can be a few dozen to tens of thousands objects in each data set. In addition, intracellular processes are supported by sub-cellular structures that also need to be identified and quantified.

Thermo Scientific Amira Software provides a comprehensive array of tools for the flexible and accurate analysis of time series data of cellular mechanisms. It enables researchers to perform dedicated segmentation workflows on their intra- and intercellular images and apply powerful automated object tracking solution. Read more

Preclinical imaging

Amira Software for Preclinical Imaging

Preclinical imaging enhanced with 3D visualization and analysis.

Reveal the underlying physiological mechanisms

Preclinical image analysis relies on augmenting structural information from micro-CT or MRI systems with functional data from PET, SPECT or optical imaging instrumentation. Analysis of novel drug candidates requires pinpointing the location of dynamic processes acquired with functional modalities in images of the animal’s anatomy from structural modalities over time.
Amira Software enables the fusion of any type of preclinical image data. Co-registered images can be segmented and analyzed using Amira Software’s vast library of image analysis filters and algorithms. Image segmentation and quantification workflows can be applied to entire time series of image data of dynamic processes. With Amira Software’s professional-grade visualization tools, structural information from CT and MRI can be augmented and rendered jointly with segmentation results and functional images to create visualization of physiological processes that reveal the underlying mechanisms in an intuitive animation.
