LAS Image Analysis for Automatic Analysis of Multiple Image Features

Wetzlar, Germany. Leica Microsystems has released a new module within the Leica Application Suite

(LAS): LAS Image Analysis is a sophisticated software module that automatically performs feature

detection, measurement and the evaluation of multiple image features. Images are acquired using the

facilities of LAS in conjunction with a Leica microscope and digital camera.

With an easy to use sequence control, LAS Image

Analysis guides the user through the whole setup to

simplify the process of acquisition, detection and

measurement. All settings and configurations can be

saved and recalled to exactly recreate the same

conditions at a later date. Once the binary image has

been produced, a variety of measurements can be

made on individual features including size, shape,

position, orientation and intensity. The large number of

parameters available enables the user to select the

most appropriate information for characterization of

the specimen. After the measurement has been

completed, the data can be transformed into meaningful results by using the wide range of analysis tools

including statistics, histograms and pie charts. LAS Image Analysis can be used in combination with LAS

Archive for searchable access to structured metadata of the digital images.

LAS Image Analysis can be used in a diverse range of imaging fields, e.g. for analysis of the size

distribution of porosity, characterization of the shape of a population of particles or for counting powders

from pharmaceutical preparations.
