LAS Montage Module

LAS Montage is a powerful module that assists
microscopists in effortlessly acquiring a series of Z­Stack images to create a single sharp
composite montage of exceptional quality and
resolution. The LAS Montage module provides a
simple approach along with intuitive tools, from set
up through to capture, for the automatic
acquisition of extended depth-of-focus images
taken at different Z positions. By stipulating a start
and end position for image acquisition along with
the number of images to be taken, the LAS
Montage module gives total flexibility in
determining individual needs. The versatile
nature of this module means that images not
required, can optionally be excluded from a Z-stack
during montage compilation. With the option to
apply further enhancements to the final montage,
based on the confidence image, LAS Montage
provides the optimun solution for all extended depth
of focus imaging needs.

LAS3-D Viewer

With an optional LAS 3-D Viewer Module, you can
further extend the visible detail of a montage
image. The LAS 3-D Viewer option allows a
montage image to be placed over the depthmap and
color coded so that regions of similar height can be
easily identified. The 3-D image can then be zoomed,
manouvered or roatated to provide a
comprehensive view of specific features.

range of samples.

• Fully integrated control of motorised focus
on Leica Stereomicroscopes, Leica Macros­copes and Leica Compound microscopes,
both upright and inverted.

• Comprehensive digital camera control
functions including the ability to adjust
focus position on live image display.

• Simplified operation by automatically adjus­ting step size and the number of images to
microscope magnification, aperture and
camera resolution.

• Images from microscopes with non-tele­centric optics can be automatically aligned.

• Depth map and confidence images are
produced to increase the accuracy of the
extended focus image.

• Create Stereo Pair, Anaglyph and Colour Re­lief images to further enhance visualisation
and increase specimen understanding.

• 3-D Viewer creates a 3-D surface model that
can be viewed or lit from any angle so that
details can be closely observed.
