SPOT Imaging, a Division of Diagnostic Instruments, Inc. software

The SPOT Basic™ image capture software enables microscopists to create publication quality pictures easily. The live image window provides a preview of the image capture so you can see how the image will look before you capture it. The live image window is ideal for panning through slides to locate areas of interest, and its focus gauge and detail magnifier enable fast and precise focusing. Color temperature, contrast and automatic white balance options create excellent color fidelity. Acquiring flawless images or image sequences is as effortless as a single mouse click.

The SPOT Advanced™ software is a comprehensive toolkit for SPOT camera owners who need precision control over their hardware. Image captures can be triggered externally for accurate timing with peripherals. Measurements, reticles, scale bars, and other annotations are available to enhance your image. Images can also be archived into a customizable database, dropped into the SPOT report generator for printing, or saved in several different file formats for journal submission. Repetitive tasks can be simplified with macros, user-defined taskbars and custom dialogs for commonly used functions. Microscopists capturing fluorescence images can merge and palletize images to easily differentiate fluorophores. All user preferences and settings can be permanently saved with password-protected user logins.
