[. . . ] Leica Application Suite Interactive Measurement Measuring Up with LAS! Interactive Measurements The Leica Application Suite Interactive Measurement Module is designed to simplify the manual tasks involved when deriving calibrated measurement parameters such as length, area, perimeter, diameter and angles. By tracing around an object of interest, it is easy to identify areas of significance and perform sophisticated measurements upon them. [. . . ] · Measurements can be applied to individual images or accumulated over multiple images so that statistical trends can be determined. · Live images can be annotated with calibration markers to provide a quick and easy guide to image size. · Object tracings can be stored and recalled in overlay format so that they can be reviewed effortlessly. · An intuitive gallery displays acquired images, which can be immediately selected for measurements. Vital Statistics! Measurement Options The LAS Interactive Measurement module provides a workflow approach to defining the parameters during setup, through to the actual measurements and the subsequent analyses. Measurement types include depicting the vector distance between points, determining angle, width and height and calculating areas and mean intensity. The meaurement process can be operated in two modes, either in basic or accumalation. Basic mode is mostly applied to measurements on individual images whilst accumalation mode can be used when calculations are applied to multiple images to obtain statistical information. Detailed Results In order to provide the most in depth findings the LAS Interactive Measurements module provides various options for reviewing and reporting results. Measurement results can be displayed in tabular form and easily saved, exported and printed in Microsoft Word and Excel. Furthermore, statistics can be calculated in terms of total, mean, mode, median, standard deviation, maximum and minimum values and many more. LAS is based on Windows PCs and provides a cost-effective and uniform environment, compatible across the Leica range of microscopes and Digital FireWire cameras. LAS Interactive Measurements The LAS Interactive Measurement module is a highly versatile solution that can be used with many specimen types for users interested in materials science, quality control, forensics, bioscience, pharmacology and many more areas. The LAS Interactive Measurement module can be used for applications such as: · Layer Thickness Measurements ­ cross sectional samples are measured to discover coating thickness and skin thickness.
