First Commercially Available Software Able to Track Both Spines and Dendrites Over Time

Bitplane, a part of Andor Technology plc, announces the launch of new Imaris 7.1 software. New capabilities include filament tracing with 4D spine and dendrite tracking, a track editor and statistical annotations for 4D objects.

Imaris 7.1 will provide users with even more advancements, making it the clear software choice for 3D and 4D visualisation and analysis. Imaris 7.1 is the first commercial software package that can track both spines and dendrites over time. It also allows users to edit tracks of spots, surfaces, cells and filament objects. Another key feature of the newest release is the ability to annotate objects with key statistical information using Imaris InPress.

Imaris is Bitplane’s core software platform and delivers industry leading functionality for visualisation and analysis of 3D and 4D microscopy data sets. Imaris has been successful as it continues to outperform competition on a higher degree of interaction, the ability to process very large image data sets, to segment and analyse cellular components within individual cells and to provide accurate measurements for cell biologists and neuro-scientists.
