Imaging software developer Definiens has added stereological analysis methods to its software release Tissue Studio 3.5 for random sampling and analysis of histological samples.
The stereological methods obtain quantitative data about 3D features from 2D tissue sections.
Tissue Studio 3.5 automates and precisely detects structure and morphology in heterogeneous tissue, according to the Munich-headquartered company.
Definiens' stereology solutions can be incorporated into both manual and automated whole-slide image analysis workflows, and are compatible with all major slide image file formats. They also work with both bright field and fluorescence image data.
Definiens' software provides detailed readouts from whole-tissue slides, cell-based assays, and full body scans and allows correlating this information with data derived from other sources.
