AIC includes Four levels to meet every need:

AIC-CD (Camera Devices)

AIC-SD (Standard Devices)

AIC-AD (Advanced Devices)

AIC-EP (Experiment Planner)

Automated Image Capture-Camera Devices (AIC-CD) provides cost-effective image capture from a wide range of cameras, allowing image capture of monochrome or multiple channels and time sequence functions.

Support for a wide variety of video and digital cameras

Supports monochrome or color cameras

Auto-exposure for brightfield or darkfield images

Includes time sequence acquisition

Real-time noise averaging, shading and background correction

On-line intensity histogram and profiles

Automated Image Capture-Standard Devices (AIC-SD) includes all functionality of AIC-CD and increases flexibility of SimplePCI to control many devices while capturing images. Adding AIC-SD to SimplePCI provides all supported device drivers for automatic capture of color and monochrome images using motorized filter and shutter controls. A Scan Wizard simplifies collection of image sequences for XYZ or wavelength over time (time-lapse). Image sequences are easily viewed in a data file. AIC-SD supports data grouping for each pass of a data set.

Capture up to 5 channels of data per field

Advanced exposure protection to minimize bleaching

Flexible stage control with Z sub range for XY, time scans

Interpolated focus over XY scanned pattern

Internal and external TTL control for acquisition

High speed streaming to memory and disk

Automated Image Capture-Advanced Devices (AIC-AD) enhances SimplePCI to provide cost-effective control over all major motorized microscopes and select scanning confocal attachments. A Scan Wizard simplifies collection of image sequences for XYZ and wavelength over time (time-lapse). Image sequences are easily viewed in a data file for later analysis.

Includes functionality of AIC-CD and AIC-SD device support

Comprehensive support for automated microscopes

Supports scanning array confocal microscopes

Automated capture of XYZ and wavelength scans over time

TTL I/O signals for electrophysiology synchronization

Pixel calibrations stored for multiple objectives

Automated Image Capture-Experiment Planner (AIC-EP) includes all functionality of AIC-AD broadening the flexibility of SimplePCI to capture images under user defined conditions. When advanced experimental control is required, AIC-EP supports multi-dimensional scanning and collection of image sequences with managed data storage. AIC-EP provides an elegant solution to cover many experiment scenarios, with visual programming at a high level language which adapts to many image acquisition designs.
