Never before has a software package achieved such recognition for
comprehensive device control with a suite of image analysis,
visualization and archiving tools.
Nikon's NIS-Elements revolutionizes imaging software for the
microscopy market by combining automated intelligence to
microscopes, cameras, components and peripherals with powerful
archiving, analysis and visualization tools. Its intuitive
interface simplifies workflow and speeds up image acquisition times
while providing powerful features such as image stitching, object
counting and volume views.
Database Capabilities
NIS-Elements has a powerful image database module that supports
image and meta data. Various databases and tables can easily be
created and images can be saved to the database via one simple
mouse-click. Filtering, sorting and multiple grouping are also
available according to the database field given for each image.
Multidimensional Capturing
NIS-Elements can combine X, Y, Z, Lambda (wavelength), Time, and
Multi Stage Points within one integrated platform for
multi-dimensional imaging (depends on the capability of the
software). All combinations of multidimensional images can be
linked together in one ND2 file sequence using an efficient
workflow and intuitive GUI. (AR package: up to 6D, BR package: up
to 4D)
2D Real-time Deconvolution
The real-time 2D deconvolution module (from AutoQuant®) enables the
user to observe live specimens with less blur. It allows faint
biological processes to be observed that may otherwise be missed
and increases observed signal-to-noise ratio. (AR package)
3D AutoQuant® Blind Deconvolution
The haze and blur of the image that can occur when capturing a
thick specimen or a fluorescence image can be eliminated from the
captured 3D image. (AR package)
Calcium & FRET
This plug-in allows calcium measurement and FRET analysis. FRET
analysis uses the three-filter method and allows calibration of
Ca2+ concentration. The Gordon method that uses three filter sets
allows calculation of FRET efficiency. (AR package)
Object Tracking
By tracking an object captured by 2D acquisition, speed and
distance of its movement can be measured. Exporting acquired data
is also possible. (AR package)
Object Classifier
Extracted measurement objects can be classified according to shape,
brightness, size and specified characteristics. Measuring and
counting by each class can be conducted easily. (AR package)
Extended Depth of Focus
With the Extended Depth of Focus (EDF) module, images that have
been captured in a different Z-axis can be used to create an all-in
focus image. Also, it is possible to create stereovision images
& 3D surface images to achieve virtual 3D imaging.

Overview
The NIS-Elements software suite is composed of three distinct
packages scaled to address specific application requirements. Each
version delivers an intuitive interface to simplify workflow and
provides powerful imaging tools. The software supports numerous
image analysis and processing routines in conjunction with useful
tools for storing and retrieving image data.
NIS-Elements Documentation (D)
NIS-Elements Documentation is tailored to facilitate image capture,
object measurement and counting, databasing and report generation.
Ease of use and simplification of menu options has been emphasized
in the design of the package while NIS-Elements Advanced Research
(AR) and Basic Research (BR) packages also display a similar look
and feel.
The combination of integrated automated intelligence, streamlined
workflow, attention to detail and creative design makes
NIS-Elements Documentation the perfect package for clinical and
industrial applications such as tissue comparison, image archiving
and reporting, particle analysis, defect analysis and fiber &
textile material analysis.
Core documentation functionality includes manual length and area
measurements as well as large imaging stitching. Optional modules
are available: database for streamlined image filing; retrieval and
report generation for PDF based reports; Extended Depth of Focus
(EDF), which creates an all-in-focus image from a series of Z-axis
images; live compare for comparing a live image with a static image
or overlay; Automatic Measurement for automated object counting
using thresholding, feature restrictions and data export; and
advanced macro builder for more complex custom programming.
