AxioVision

AxioVision is a modular software suite that can be used in conjunction with any Zeiss microscope including the Axio Imager 2. It automates the microscope control to acquire, analyze and document features such as thermal deformations, inclusions or crystalline microstructures in a single operation. The software enables the operator to benefit from the ZVI image format, developed especially for microscopy by Carl Zeiss. The quality, content and significance of images are captured and retained with no loss of information and with the added benefit of integrated documentation of the imaging parameters. This is essential for repeatability and validation of the data. The AxioVision system can be expanded to include various modules or adapted to individual applications. It is suitable for use with a wide range of cameras from digital consumer models through to scientific microscope systems.

Features

Rapid image processing
Integration of text and graphic elements
Precise image measurement
Report and documentation generation
Customisable with multiple module options
