Cost-Effective Integrated System for Bioimaging
The MetaVue™ Imaging System is the cost-effective solution for basic imaging applications such as digital
photography, multi-wavelength fluorescence, image processing and image analysis. MetaVue is a simple,
easy-to-use system for acquiring and processing images, performing graphics functions, and archiving and
retrieving images.
Acquisition
For multi-mode microscopy, MetaVue is able to acquire multiple fluorescence wavelengths combined with a
transmitted light image. Images can be stacked into one file and saved as a Stack file format, then processed or
measured all at once in one easy step.
With the MetaVue system's modular architecture, expanding the software is simple and allows the system to grow
as your imaging needs change. Compatibility with MetaMorph® and MetaFluor® offers a well-defined upgrade
path.
