Producing perfectly focused, high resolution, digital images of your samples from your optical microscope is frequently impossible for many applications. This is due to the fundamental limitation of the depth of focus of the optics, resulting in partially focused and disappointing images.

With Auto-Montage this has all changed. You can now obtain perfectly focused, superb resolution images of an incredibly wide range of samples regardless of the magnification and depth of focus of your optics.

The Auto-Montage system also creates dramatic 3D views of your samples, height coded images and a wealth of valuable 3D measurement data.

Auto-Montage’s motorized z-stepper turns the fine focus knob automatically in precisely measured steps. It makes the capture of a large number of images very quick and simple and provides instant calibration of the z-axis. The z-stepper is an important component for labs requiring accurate height data, high throughput automation and zero distortion 3D surface models.

3D graphical modelling

Combining height data with montage or color relief images to create superb 3D surface models of your samples is probably the most popular 3D visualization tool in Auto-Montage. The interface is easy to use allowing full control over tilt, rotation, zoom, z-axis scaling, detail and brightness. The models are calculated quickly and have been developed using the latest, high resolution modeling tools.

2D and 3D measurements

Auto-Montage is supplied with a wealth of 2D and 3D measurement tools designed to provide objective analysis of surface details. The measurement facilities are widely used in industry and research applications and often provide the only way to obtain this type of data from samples.
Measurements include XY lengths, contour following XYZ lengths, surface areas, volumes, XY angles, Z angles and height differences.

Z-sectioning and depth profiling

A line drawn anywhere on the montage image can be used to create a z-section through the stack of source images and to view the height profile of a surface. The z-sectioning is particularly valuable in multi-layered samples such as in the study of bio films and cell culture.
