A market leading software product specifically for biological scientists who use fluorescence imaging. Openlab provides a wide range of tools, from simple image acquisition to fully automated experimental protocols, for maximum versatility. Compatible with an array of hardware, Openlab is a powerful yet easy to use imaging platform for any laboratory. Available for Mac OS X.

The Openlab Family
Openlab consists of a core product and a collection of modules, each of which performs a specific task, such as hardware control, 2D measurements, online ratio imaging, and many others. Your Openlab license includes all the Openlab modules with the exception of 3D Restoration. This means that your system provides all the tools to create the imaging experiments that your research requires, with a range of analysis functions and presentation features at your disposal.

Openlab supports all the major scientific grade microscopes, a wide range of monochrome and color cameras, Z focus drives, XY stages, filter wheels, shutters and other imaging hardware. For a full list of currently supported hardware, please view this technical note.

Openlab Module Groups
Openlab modules are collected together into groups depending on their functionality.

File Filter modules allow the import and export of images in standard file formats including PICT, PICS, TIFF and QuickTime. Images can therefore be easily transferred between software programs and platforms and shared with colleagues.

Camera modules provide control of features including exposure, gain, offset, auto exposure and binning.

Hardware modules to control any external equipment (except the camera).

Application modules provide specific software functionality to the Openlab system and allow you to carry out complex image processing and analysis tasks. The range of functions is extensive and includes deconvolution, 3D imaging, morphological measurements, ratio and FRET imaging, colocalization and image registration.

Automation modules provide the means to create imaging experiments.
