Advanced Research
The most sophisticated of the suite of products, NIS-Elements AR is optimized for advanced research applications. It features fully automated acquisition and device control through full six-dimensional image acquisition and analysis.
Advanced Image Processing
NIS-Elements innovative image processing capabilities give users’ further control and functionality in their experiments. Advanced visualization methods, like capturing 3D data sets, 2D/3D data set analysis, and large image stitching can all be performed with relative ease with the software.
Key Features:
- Morphology
- Merge Channels
- Image Arithmetic
- Large Image Stitching
- EDF (Extended Depth of Focus)
- Real Time 2D Deconvolution
Morphology
NIS-Elements offers a rich spectrum of mathematical morphology functions (clean, erode, dilate, open, close, smooth), morphologic separation functions, linear morphology functions, fill functions (fill holes, close holes), skeleton functions (medial axis, skeletonize, pruning) and other functions (such as: binary invert, convex hull, contour, skeletonize, homotopic marking, zones of influence, etc.)
(original, contour, threshold, zones of influence + source)
Merge Channels
Multiple single channel images (captured with different optical filters or under different camera settings) can be merged together simply by dragging from one image to another. In addition, the combined images can be stored to a file while maintaining their original bit depths or optionally can be converted into a RGB image.
ZoomImage Arithmetic (A+B/A-B/Max/Min)
NIS-Elements’ Image Arithmetic function performs calcuations on the color channels of two images and creates a new image that is a combination of the two.
ZoomLarge Image Stitching
NIS-Elements includes impressive large image stitching capabilities. Here's how it works: samples are scanned automatically using a motorized XY stage with auto-focus capability and captured images are stitched into one large image. Special algorithms ensure maximum accuracy, resulting in ultra high-resolution images.

ZoomEDF (Extended Depth of Focus)
Extended Depth of Focus (EDF) is an additional software plug-in for NIS-Elements. Thanks to the EDF function, images that have been captured in a different Z-axis can be combined to create an all-in-focus image. Also, it is possible to create stereovision image & 3D surface image for a virtual 3D image.

Real Time 2D Deconvolution
The real time 2D deconvolution module (from AutoQuant) allows the user to observe live specimens with less out-of-focus blur. It allows faint biological processes to be observed that may otherwise be missed and increases observed signal-to-noise ratio. Available in two- and three-dimensional image stacks.
