SigmaScan 5.0
Analyze images with ease!

As a scientist, engineer or technician, you're often faced with problems that are difficult to measure but easy to photograph. SigmaScan Pro provides a complete PC image solution for scientists - everything from image collection to data analysis. SigmaScan Pro offers complete compatibility; you can capture images from any TWAIN-supported device and handle a multitude of images files and other file types. The built-in, sophisticated enhancement techniques improve image quality, optimizing the image to your specifications. SigmaScan Pro provides a complete image analysis package for studying the structure and size of visual information. The powerful, built-in, image analysis and data handling techniques transform images into reliable statistics, understandable graphs and valuable scientific conclusions. A powerful library of more than 50 measurements options (or make your own) collects your results in a Microsoft ® Excel spreadsheet format where object numbers correlate to spreadsheet row numbers. You can then use built-in column statistics to organize data and develop solid conclusions, visualizing using the plot function, or export files to e.g SigmaPlot. SigmaScan Pro's automation features further save you valuable research time. Execute a series of steps once then apply the sequence to other images to effortlessly perform complex analyses and data handling.
