 Huge images |
Imaris 6.3 allows faster (and smoother) zoom and pan. This works with ALL viewers: Slice, Section, Gallery, Surpass Volume, Surpass Ortho Slice, Surpass Oblique Slice, Surpass Surface Preview, Coloc
While panning (or zooming): Low resolution textures are used as long as there are no high resolution textures loaded.
Finished panning (or zooming): High resolution textures are loaded asynchronous (like google maps).
|
Snapshot
|
- The "Fit" button in Surpass now fits the bounding box of the scene to the border of the Surpass window. The illustration below shows the behavior of the "old fit" and the "new fit":
- A preview shows the expected result.
- "100% Snapshot" adjusts the width and the height of the snapshot. The resulting image will have a zoom factor of 1 (one pixel per voxel).
- Example: export an xy-slice from the slice-view in original resolution without a border:
- From "Predefined Dimensions" select "... x ... Dataset".
- Make sure that "Crop to fill whole snapshot area" is checked.
- Press "Fit" from the Imaris status bar.
- Press "..." to select an output file name.
- Hit "Do Snapshot"

Statistics Filtering
|
- Objects can now be filtered by TWO thresholds
- If the lower threshold is checked, all objects above the threshold are selected.
- If the upper threshold is checked, all objects below the threshold are selected.
- If the lower and the upper threshold are checked, all the objects in between the thresholds are selected. If the value of the lower threshold is higher than the value of the upper threshold, all the objects outside are selected.
- If no thresholds are checked, all the objects are selected.
- If only one of the Thresholds is et to "automatic", a two means algorithm is used to calculate the threshod value
- If both thresholds are set to "automatic", a three means algorithm is used to compute the threshold values.
- The threshold mode is set to "manual" as soon as the user clicks into the histogram.
- Click with the left mouse button into the histogram changes the lower threshold.
- Click with the right mouse button into the histogram changes the upper threshold.
- The updated filter dialog is available for the creation wizards of Surfaces and Spots, and as filter tab for Surfaces, Spots and Filament.
|
| FilamentTracer |
Color Coding
|
- The statistical values of dendrites and spines can be mapped as color to the according filament segments (similar to Surfaces and Spots).
|
Statistics
|
- A real branch level is introduced. In earlier Imaris versions there were already statistics values named "Level", but it was not the same as the level from the biological point of view - it was the tree depth from the graph theory. Therefore we renamed the old "Level" into "Depth"
- Dendrite Branch Level
- Dendrite Branch Depth
- Spine Branch Level
- Spine Branch Depth
|
Time
|
- Filaments for all time points within one surpass object:
- Easy Export of Statistics
- Common Filtering
- Common Color handling
- (tracking not yet implemented)
