Catymage
Application Software for CatCam E-Series Microscope Cameras
Catymage is an advanced yet user-friendly and intutive software, supplied with CatCam E-Series Cameras. It allows the user to control all the functions of the cameras along with the acquisition, processing, analysis and browsing of the images. A simple user interface makes the installation a simple task and is compatible with all the versions of Windows OS, Mac OSX and Linux.
Catymage has a very User-friendly UI design with well arranged menus and toolbars to ensure quick operation. It has a unique design of Five sidebars to control -Camera, Folders, Undo/Redo, Layer and Measurement.
Hardware Control Module
- Exposure & Gain
Auto / manual exposure; Up to 5 times gain - White Balance
Advanced single-click intelligent white balance setting, temperature and tint can be manually adjusted - Color Adjustment
Hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, gamma initialization adjustment - Frame Rate Control
Adjustment of frame rate available for different computer configurations - Power Frequency Setting(Anti-filcker)
Natural light/DC, AC 50 HZ, AC60 HZ switch function thoroughly eliminates video flicker - Flip
Check the “horizontal” or “vertical” option to eliminate the mirror effect - Skip and bin sampling
Bin mode can obtain low noise video stream; Skip mode obtains sharper and smoother video stream - Parameters
Load, save, overwrite, import, export self-defined parameters of camera control panel (including calibration information, exposure and color setting information);
Image Processing & Analyzing Module
- Video functions
Various professional functions : Video broadcast, Time lapse capture, Video record, Video watermark, Video stream grid, Video measurement, Video calibration, Gray calibration, Video EDF, Image stitch, Video scale bar, date and etc. - Image Processing and Enhancement
Control and adjust image by contrast, etc. - Measurement
Easy video or image calibration. Various video and image measurement methods like length, area, perimeter, angle etc.. - Image Stitching
Image stitching can automatically combine a sequence of relevant images into a perfect larger one - EDF(Extended Depth of Focus)
Aimed at generating a clearer image by combining a sequence of previously captured multi-focus images - Segmentation & Count function
Integrates the advanced 6 image segmentation and particle counting algorithm - Image Stacking
Image stacking adopts advanced image matching technology. - Color Composite
Color composite adds appropriate pseudo color to monochrome fluorescence images. The Color Composite tool is used primarily to merge and register multiple fluorescent images acquired as monochrome single wavelengths into a color composite image. It is also an excellent tool for merging brightfield/fluorescence combinations such as those created using Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) images.
