Confocal microscopy workflows are often slowed by the gap between image acquisition and analysis. Researchers capture images in one platform, then manually export files, locate calibration data, and import them into another tool for analysis. These extra steps can introduce errors, reduce efficiency, and make it harder to maintain a smooth, repeatable imaging workflow.
The integration of Aurox Visionary, with Media Cybernetics' Image-Pro eliminates these barriers.
Researchers can move seamlessly from high-resolution image capture to advanced 2D and 3D visualization, quantification, and AI-powered analysis—all with a single click.
This unified workflow preserves calibration and metadata integrity, speeds experiments, and simplifies complex confocal imaging protocols.
