M3 Vision
A software for the analysis of Biospace Lab images

Combine efficiency and precision for quantification, kinetics analysis and export
Biospace Lab has developped a new software for the analysis of its molecular imaging instruments, the Beta Imager, the Micro Imager, the Photon Imager and the Gamma Imager. The philosophy of the new software relies on two analysis modes: a standard mode for easy, fast yet precise routine analyses; and an advanced mode, with a large number of options and highly specific processes.

Save time with the automated tasks

When you analyze acquisitions, there is a significant number of actions you repeat identically for each image: fuse signal and photographic images, adapt the Look up Table (LUT) min and max to the signal histogram distribution, isolate the signal source with a region of interest for quantification and characterization, discriminate fluorescence and autofluorescence, check bioluminescence kinetics...
After a throrough study of analyses routines, Biospace Lab was able to implement in M3 Vision an easier and more consistent interface for image analysis. Routine tasks are automated or pre setted:
  • Images are automatically opened as fusion (signal & photography of bioluminescence and fluorescence acquisitions)
  • ROI selection is immediate with the magic wands. The magic wands analyze the LUT min parameter to suggest intelligent thresholds
  • Users can get rid of autofluorescence in a few clicks with the semi automated unmixing interface
  • Kinetics of images or regions of interest require only a single click to reveal the signal time profile
  • Zoom into you signal to detect the significance of even subtle signal variations in autoradiographic images

You analyze, M3 Vision reckons

Biology is too complex to permit approximative interpretation. With M3 Vision, you can spend more time to think on the interpretation of your results and leave the computation time to the software. Quantification with M3 Vision means:
  • Easy drawing of regions of interest: geometric, freehand, automated with magic wands; duplication, editing, fusion features
  • Clear and detailed report of ROI signal intensities
  • Immediate export of intensities to Excel files or html format of all images analysed in one shot
  • Export kinetic curves and spatial profile as easily as the ROI intensities
  • Export snapshots of your acquisitions with the quantification figures burned in the images

Multi Modality Molecular Vision The software includes the expertise of Biospace Lab for the analysis of the different modalities of its instruments: autoradiography, scintigraphy, bioluminescence and fluorescence... The standard/advanced mode, and the polymorphism properties of the software enables it to offer, for each modality, a user-friendly interface and optimized processes.



A search engine

We know research is not just about imaging one mouse, but tens, hundreds, thousands or maybe more before your idea turns into an hypothesis and a discovery. M3 Vision gives you the possibility to find back instantaneously the acquisition, among all your files, with which everything started... or any of the 999 other images! The search desktop builds and scans an image base that allows to find images on any possible way: comments, properties, acquisition date... No way you can loose a file now!
