ImarisInPress
|
 |
The ImarisInPress control panel is integrated into the view control bar of the
current view. For better handling it can also be un-docked by dragging it off
its integrated position or clicking on the docking icon (top right, next to x).
Using the ImarisInPress control you define the figure legend with annotation
texts the visual appearance, and export the figure (in this version HTML only).
|
 |
The figure to the left shows different annotation styles made with ImarisXT. The
attachment to a 3D position remains intact when the scene is rotated, zoomed, or
panned.

Surpass
 |
-
Swing mode:
A Novel 3D viewing and precise interaction mode. Imaris produces a real 3D
impression by a smooth animation of the view. This helps to get an understanding
of the image depth, while manipulating with Surpass objects: Spots, Filaments,
Measurement Points.

Quick Time VR:
 |
Export your Surpass scene, and visualize it interactively in
your Presentation. |

| Statusbar |
-
-
Zoom value can be edited numerically
-
100% sets zoom to 1 pixel/voxel and centers the image
-
Fit adjusts the zoom to best fit the image into the window
-
Full screen maximizes the viewing area to the screen
-
The status bar can be turned off and on in the "view" menu.
-
Works in ALL Imaris views
|
View Origin
 |
-
The origin of the coordinate system can be set to any corner of all the views:
Bottom Left, Top Left, Bottom Right, or Top Right (menu "View")

| Thumbnails |
Imaris extends the file explorer:
The above figure shows a folder's detail view with additional Bitplane fields
such as the number of time points and the number of channels. Several additional
fields are available such as voxel size, image description, or detailed file
format.
The above figure shows a folder's thumbnail view. The thumbnails are generated
with the Imaris extension. An icon at the corner indicates the image type:

2D Image |

2D-Time Image |

3D Image |

3D-Time Image |
The above figure shows the file association dialog for the thumbnail creator (Imaris:
Edit Menu). Thumbnails will be created and MetaData will be extracted from all
checked file types.

High-Precision Center Lines and Diameters
|
Following the creation process which can be automatic or manual or a combination
of both, Imaris centers the middle-axis of the dendrite (Center button) and
computes the diameters from the image (Diameter button). Using subsequent "Smooth"
operations on the whole filament will level out too large variations in the
filament diameter which were perhaps introduced by uneven staining.
The above figure shows the result of the "Center" operation.
The above figure shows the image using volume rendering in yellow and two
automatically detected dendrites in red. Note the variable diameters which are
also taken into account when computing the volume of the filament or segment.
