Other real-time functions include live Gamma, Brightness, Contrast control and much more.

Post processing features include Six Channel Multiplexed Fluorescent Imaging, a highly sophisticated imaging tool that effortlessly combines up to six different image files of various bit depths. Color Merge, Measurement and Annotation, Image Scripting, Macros, Flat-Field Batch Processing for Flat-field correction/Background subtraction and Report Generation functionality are also included.
