Basic Research
NIS-Elements BR is suited for standard research applications such as analysis and photodocumentation of fluorescent imaging. It features up to four dimensional acquisition capabilities and advanced device control capabilities.
Photodocumentation
NIS-Elements makes fluorescence and brightfield photodocumentation easy and intuitive, and offers extensive data management functions. The software’s interface is designed to simplify workflow, and delivers fast image acquisition speeds via direct streaming RAM to record rapid biological events. It provides complete control over Nikon motorized microscopes and other devices with powerful functions like a zoom control linked to calibration.
Key Features:
- Selectable Layout Interface
- Acquisition Color Setting
- Data Management
- Report Generation
- Easy Access to Image Controls
- Color Adjustment
Selectable Layout Interface
NIS-Elements comes with the built-in layouts “Full Screen” and “Docked Controls.” Layouts of all windows and toolbars can be freely customized by the user and saved. Switching between layouts is achieved by a single mouse click.

Acquisition Color Setting
Color modification can be easily set with the LUT (look-up table). Indexed-color pixels are mapped into a selected set of true color values. The histogram, threshold, gamma parameter, and brightness of RGB components are adjustable. Modifications on live image processing can be easily accomplished on the GUI.
Data Management
NIS-Elements has a powerful built-in image database. The database supports image and meta-data, allowing users to create report templates or direct printed and PDF based reports. Various databases and tables can easily be created and images can be saved to the database via one simple mouse click.
In addition, filtering, sorting and multiple grouping can all be performed through the GUI's drag and drop functionality. Detail, thumbnail, icon and grid views are available on both the database image and the images on the file system.
Zoom 
NIS-Elements uses a sophisticated image documentation structure making it possible to achieve non-destructive archiving of image data including annotation (arrows, lines, text notes), measurement data, binary data for storing results of threshold or classification processes, and meta-data information for recording acquisition and device conditions at the time of image acquisition.
Flexibility in tailoring the software for specific applications is possible through simple built-in macro recording and the Advanced Macro Builder.
ZoomReport Generation
Report Generator enables the user to create customized reports containing images, database descriptions, measured data, user texts, and graphics.
PDF format files can be created directly from NIS-Elements.
Color Adjustment
NIS-Elements is suitable for hue adjustment, independently for each color, transforming the color image to one of the RGB or HSI components.
Color adjustments include:
- Contrast
- Background subtraction
- Component mix
