Quartz PCI Version 8
The industry–standard image management tool for microscopy keeps getting better.
Quartz PCI Version 8 adds innovative new features to streamline your image handling tasks. PCI Version 8 includes:
- A new Measurement Sequence function that allows you to save sequences of repetitive measurements and makes it easy to repeat them.
- Improved image file support, including support for PNG and JPEG2000 files.
- Support for larger images. Image size is now limited only by system memory or the restrictions imposed by a particular file format.
- New measurement tools for measuring areas and perimeters of polygons and freehand shapes.
- A new four-point angle measurement tool.
- A new drawing tool for closed, freehand shapes.
- The ability to burn graphics, such as a “Company Confidential” indicator, onto the image immediately upon acquisition.
- A new Recent Images tab in the Data Manager that shows your most recently opened images.
- The ability to create CDs and DVDs directly from inside PCI.
- An improved “Send To” function with which documents can be added to the PCI database simply by dragging them onto an icon on your desktop.
