Acquisition & Device Control

MetaMorph device control makes acquisition fast and easy, allowing the integration of automated microscopes and a variety other hardware devices into a single, intuitive acquisition interface.

Image Display & Processing

Image display and processing tools are crucial for performing accurate image analysis, and MetaMorph offers a complete toolbox of advanced features in this area, from background subtraction and shading correction, to morphology filters and an interactive 4D Viewer.

Image Analysis

MetaMorph offers analysis tools to handle everything from simple intensity logging to advanced morphometry analysis, colocalization, FRET, 3D measurements, and more. Optional Application Modules perform assay-specific analysis, such as counting nuclei or assessing cell cycle phases, in a simple wizard-like interface.

Customization

Powerful and easy-to-use journal (macro) functions in MetaMorph enable users to further automate acquisition, processing, and common analysis routines, while custom toolbars and menus provide users quick access to commonly used menu options, taskbars, and journals.
