PerkinElmer launches high performance cellular imaging software
4 December 2008
PerkinElmer, Inc. has launched the Volocity 5 high performance
cellular imaging software suite, developed by subsidiary Improvision.
The Volocity 5 software is a complete solution for 3D and 4D image
acquisition from fluorescence microscopy systems, allowing data
visualisation, deconvolution, publication, object measurement, tracking
and charting.
Using Volocity, cell images can either be directly acquired or the
data seamlessly imported from a diverse range of fluorescence microscopy
systems. Acquired images are then analyzed in 3D and 4D, delivering both
qualitative and quantitative information. Volocity 5 marks a major
advance in handling large datasets, and also features a streamlined user
interface.
Leading-edge life science research relies increasingly on
three-dimensional or four-dimensional (3D or 4D) cellular imaging. Three
dimensional imaging over time is the most accurate method of studying
pathway activation at the cellular level. In addition to providing a
greater understanding of cellular function, this approach leads to both
a better understanding of disease and the action of potential
therapeutics.
"The ability to analyze images from all angles, in 3D and in a time
lapse environment, is critical to understanding cellular biology. The
newest edition of the Volocity software makes this core function much
more streamlined and accessible than before," said Richard Eglen, PhD,
president, Bio-discovery, PerkinElmer. "This latest Volocity release
further shows PerkinElmer's continued commitment to developing
industry-leading imaging tools for cellular biology."
