| Coming Soon - AutoQuant 2.2.0
AutoQuant X Version 2.2.0 will soon be splashing across the screens of AutoQuant customers worldwide using auto-update technology. Version 2.2.0 will simultaneously become available to first time buyers looking to take advantage of the new features and improvements. AutoQuant Deconvolution is more powerful than ever for carefully correcting haze and blurring in microscopic images created by the effects of light passing through a medium and resulting in bending.

Unlike other deconvolution products, AutoQuant AutoDeblur does not require the manual calibration and measurement of the point spread function (PSF). Instead, it constructs the PSF directly from the collected data set. AutoQuant AutoDeblur works with widefield epi-fluorescence, DIC, transmitted-light brightfield and most Confocal microscopes including two-Photon and spinning disk.
Version 2.2.0 will offer:

NEW File Types and Improvements
- NEW Leica LIF file reading support
- NEW reading support for Olympus OIF file updates
- IMPROVED reading and writing Nikon ND2 file support
- IMPROVED reading and writing Metamorph STK file support
NEW Multi-Core Processor Distributing
Technology for distributing single-volume workloads over multiple processor cores enabling faster deconvolution completion times (if cores are available).
NEW Inclusion of the Line Profile/Measurement Tool
The Line Profile/Measurement tool for spatial and intensity measurements is now included in all AutoQuant products, providing instant justification of intensity results.
NEW 3D Blind Confocal Algorithm for Improved Results
Improvements have resulted in a new confocal algorithm better tuned to images where proper Nyquist sampling or over-sampling is used. Results have proved more quantitative and reproducible.
IMPROVED Batch Processing
Improvements to the batch processing engine allow more images to be cued for deconvolution. Run your large batches overnight with reliable results.
General Improvements: resolution of known issues, more!
Windows 7 Support
Media Cybernetics is committed to helping our customers transition smoothly to the new Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system. As a developer for Microsoft Windows, we have a long track record of supporting the latest version of the Windows operating system.
We are excited about the release of the Windows 7 operating system and are currently testing this operating system to:
-
Identify and document any issues with current versions of Media Cybernetics software.
-
Verify that upcoming Media Cybernetics product releases meet rigorous standards of quality and fully support Windows 7.
