Digital Imaging
Solutions - A4I Docu
A4I Docu is a dedicated
image capture, archive, and data basing package supplied by a
company called Aquinto in Germany. With a great tradition of both
understanding and innovation, they have presented the microscopist
with probably the best package available today.
With a central data
basing and capture module, the system can be easily upgraded to
allow additional modules for applications such as Depth of field
enhancement, Multiple Image Assembly or Panorama, Measuring and
Annotation, Report Writing, and even Image Analysis.
Being a modular system
one can build as one requires. With options of cameras ranging
from single chip colour cameras, through 3CCD cameras, and Digital
systems from 1300 x 1030, to Mega high resolution Progressive
Scan cameras there is a specification applicable for all users.
The system is available
through MetPrep Ltd in the UK - Sales@metprep.co.uk - where I work.
For other destinations
around the world contact Aquinto direct at sales@aquinto.de or have a look at the web page - http://www.aquinto.de
I am biased as I sell
the system - but we chose it because it is so good. The best has
now got better.
Depth of Focus - recover
the edges of bad preparation, or get that image showing all that
is there, not just a fraction of it. Great for fractography. Using
the new Superfocus module you can even compensate for the off
axis movement of stereo microscopes, and complete live panoramas/
z axis imaging.
Too small a magnification
to resolve the detail, and get the subject in one image? Using
Panofocus you get take the images at a resolution suitable for
the specimen, and join them together in real time.
When it comes to report
writing just select the images, and all is placed in a word document
- I'm sorry but you do need to write your own evaluation - it
won't write it all for you!
If you make the most
of it you can easily use it as the basis for a Laboratory Management
System.
It's a seriously good
package, and as a microscopist I can say it's worth a demonstration.
