(Olympus: Center Valley, PA) -- In material science laboratories where capturing, retrieving, and analyzing sample images from microscopes can be complex, Olympus Stream image analysis software v. 1.7 streamlines the process so users can accomplish multifaceted and complex applications with unprecedented ease and accuracy. The latest version of the software offers high dynamic range imaging, streamlined document storage and retrieval, easier reporting, and a variety of helpful new imaging, data handling, and reporting tools.

Version 1.7 offers several powerful advances for image capture. Most significant is high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, which is useful when displaying images with both dark and bright areas that require viewing, measuring, or analysis. Contrast-based auto-focus ensures that the desired topography of the entire image, or any region of interest, is in perfect focus. Users also can now load and save acquisition parameters directly in the Camera Control Tool Window, making it easier and faster to facilitate sharing a single camera among various microscopes or users.
