Volocity: High performance 3D imaging software

The most technically innovative and complete 3D imaging solution ever created for Life Science research. Four unique, totally integrated products provide a full suite of tools for 3D image acquisition, volume visualization, restoration, publication, and object measurement, tracking and charting. Award winning design, available for Mac and Windows OS.

Introducing the Volocity Product Family

Volocity Acquisition – fast and easy does it!
Capture your data on a Mac or PC using Volocity Acquisition – 3D or 4D, single or multi-channel – whatever your research demands. The intuitive software interface is easy to use and customise and places you fully in control.

If you need high speed image capture, Volocity Acquisition is the solution for you. Our unique parallel processing and video streaming architecture is designed to acquire image sequences direct to hard disk at the maximum frame rate possible from each supported camera.

Volocity Visualization – see things in the round
View your cells in 3D and 4D with Volocity Visualization. Explore, rotate, fly through your samples as never before, in real time, in incredible detail and clarity. Volocity Visualization provides high quality rendering with total interactivity – now you can dynamically visualize both the structure and the purpose of biological structures.

Volocity Quantitation – an object lesson in measurement and tracking!
Find, measure, track and chart objects in your samples using the huge range of features in Volocity Quantitation. Train Volocity to automatically identify the structure of interest, then ask it to find and measure objects in one time point, or track them over multiple time points.

View the object tracks overlaid on the 2D images or 3D volume, to see the dynamics within your sample in a new way. Analyze your measurements by summarising and extracting data from your results, and create charts in 2D or interactive 3D.

Volocity Restoration – reveal the detail
Use the powerful algorithms in Volocity Restoration to eliminate noise and blur in your data. Measured or calculated PSF generation options are included for confocal and wide field microscopes. The Fast Restoration tool provides an instantaneous improvement in XY resolution, or use Iterative Restoration for improvement in XY and Z resolution – it’s up to you, both are provided.

How does the Volocity family fit together?
The answer is seamlessly – all the Volocity products are completely and effectively integrated. Choose the Volocity products you need for the discoveries you want to make today and add new products when you’re ready to move forward. Your Volocity purchase includes a USB key and software for Mac OS X, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows for complete cross platform flexibility, greater productivity and sharing of results.

Want to share this outstanding technology with your fellow scientists?
Choose the option to run Volocity on the Improvision License Server and you can provide access to Volocity to anyone on the network with a suitable computer.

User Testimonial

'As a multiuser facility in a multidisciplinary department, Volocity is used by a diverse range of microscopists. For the past six years, Volocity has constantly evolved to enable our users to get the most out of their images with both relative ease and stability. It has become a vital component to our core facility that is greatly appreciated.'

Dr Peter O’Toole, Imaging and Cytometry Laboratory, University of York.
