microDimensions today announced new versions of its digital pathology applications Outspace™ and Voloom®. The updates address some of the most important features requested by its customers and are available to all clients with an active maintenance plan.

Outspace significantly accelerates the process of unbiased volume estimation through the use of computer-assisted stereology based on Cavalieri’s principle. It comes now in version 1.1 and

  • supports editing all sections during reconstruction,

  • allows to enable and disable all Cavalieri crosses within the current region of interest,

  • features an overview image to improve user navigation and orientation,

  • consumes less system memory,

  • and has an improved graphical user interface during analysis.

For more information please visit the Outspace product page micro-dimensions.com/outspace.

Voloom reconstructs serial sections and facilitates 3D histology in a matter of minutes. Version 2.3 will be released on 9 March 2015 and

  • supports Carl Zeiss Axio Scan.Z1 .czi whole slide images,
  • allows to manually specify the image modality in the reconstruction wizard,
  • exports the actual number of stains during stained Bitplane Imaris .ims export,

microDimensions Launches Outspace: Speedy Stereology

Munich, 3 February 2015

microDimensions, global provider of the world’s most powerful 3D histology reconstruction software Voloom®, today added Outspace™ to its digital pathology image analysis portfolio, the fastest and most easy-to-use stereology software for Cavalieri volume estimation from histology whole slide images.

microDimensions Outspace pairs our patent pending image registration techniques with an intuitive user interface to provide one of the fastest stereology software solutions available worldwide. It automatically aligns tissue samples distributed over multiple sections and propagates and pre-labels regions of interest so that manual labeling is reduced to a minimum. The software supports common whole slide images and is compatible with 3DHISTECH, Aperio, Bitplane, Hamamatsu, Huron, Leica, Nikon, Zeiss, and generic (.tiff, .jpeg) file formats, no matter whether they were acquired by brightfield, fluorescence, or laser scanning systems.

Our stereology software Outspace can speed up our customers’ workflows by more than 30 percent in comparison to other software solutions, said Dr. Martin Groher, CEO of microDimensions. We put a lot of development effort into a streamlined workflow and a clear user interface for Outspace, so that our customers can concentrate on their expertise and are able to reach their research and business goals faster.

microDimensions Outspace helps life science, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotech scientists and researchers in drug discovery, preclinical studies, and other application areas to perform unbiased tissue volume estimation according to Cavalieri’s principle. As only basic stereology knowledge is required and random sampling and probing is ensured by the software, users can set out to work right away. Starting from an integrated study manager, all study information can be collected, processed, and its results exported to Microsoft Excel.
