Nikon 發佈 NIS-Elements 4.0 版顯微鏡用軟體

Nikon發布NIS-Elements 4.0版顯微鏡用軟體，4.0版可以提供給目前最先進的Nikon系統，確保所用Nikon成像平台的熟練操作。它為用戶提供100多個新的功能，從簡化了的多用戶賬戶到簡化了的照片分析功能，再到強大的3D和活細胞成像攝影、重建。新提供的第三方CCD和硬體支持也包含在這個新版本裡面。

界面確保不同顯微鏡應用之間更容易的轉換。用戶權限問題做了改進，多個用戶可以同時使用一個賬戶。活細胞成像工作流程可以在拍攝照片時選擇。

為改善預覽，切片預覽、染色、閾值設定和分析窗口可以被重新設定。2D追踪已經被增加到軟體的擴充功能裡了。

所謂配方模式，是一個特定的實驗設計功能，可用於Nikon倒置研究顯微鏡。配方模式採用了Nikon硬體架構，以加快計算時間，這使得在某些多圖拍攝實驗中，拍攝速度比其他系統快兩倍。
拼接功能使得可以掃描一個大型圖像以及Z軸強度校正。


An evolution in image acquisition, control and management.

Nikon has introduced version 4.0 of its global microscope and camera software, NIS-Elements.  Version 4.0 now offers the ability to control current existing and the latest Nikon systems, ensuring familiarity on all Nikon imaging platforms.  It offers over 100 new functions for improved user experience, from simplifying multiple user accounts to simpler-to-use image analysis functions, to powerful 3D and live cell image acquisition and reconstruction. New support for third party cameras and hardware is also included in this new version.

The interface enables easier switching between microscope applications.  Improved user rights management enables the same account to be used for more than one user. Workflow for live cell imaging can be simplified with the option of a triggered start for image acquisition.

The slices viewer, rendering and thresholding and analysis windows have been redesigned for improved viewing. Tracking in 2D has also been added to the software expanding functionality.

A special experiment designer function, called recipe mode, can used with Nikon’s inverted research microscopes. The recipe mode utilises the Nikon hardware architecture to speed up communication time, in some multiple image capture experiments this allows the experiment to finish twice as fast as other comparable systems. Expanded stitching functions enable scanning of a large image and scanning of a large image with Z intensity correction.

NIS-Elements v4.0 is available with a Nikon Software Update Agreement (SUA) to allow access to software updates, as well as the ability to download the latest full retail releases of NIS- Elements at no additional charge during the first year, with further year options available.
