Thermo Electron announces complete package for imaging with infrared and Raman microscopes
Keywords: Microscopes, Computer software
Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO) has significantly enhanced its Omnice Atluse 7.2 imaging software for infrared and Raman microspectroscopy and imaging with the ability to analyze quantitative information from video and chemical images (Figure 1). This updated software tool is targeted at mid- to high-end researchers, microscopists and chemists in R&D, clinical pathology, forensics, drug discovery, QA/QC and failure analysis laboratories.

Thermo Electron's new imaging package for infrared and Raman microscopes
The Omnic Atlus 7.2 software now provides a complete imaging solution for infrared and Raman microscopes with the addition of content analysis of both video and chemical images for particle dimensions and advanced image statistics. Images can also be reproduced through the added ability to pull information from the software's history, allowing users to easily recreate an image from raw data and processing steps. Spectral statistics allow users to group spectra and perform advanced statistics, as well as employing principal component analysis to minimize the spectral contribution of undesired features while improving the signal to noise and the spatial resolution of the overall set of data.
The Omnic Atlus 7.2 software automates the collection of spatially resolved spectra from Thermo's infrared and Raman microspectroscopy and imaging instruments including the imaging microscope, Nicolete™ Continuume™ XL, which combines white light microscopy with advanced imaging. Vivid false-color images are created that allow chemical heterogeneity to be readily visualized and compared to visual features.
Omnic Atlus 7.2 incorporates a range of state-of-the-art features, including comprehensive 2D- and 3D- visualization capabilities, full auto- mation for the collection of images, point, line and area maps, fast processing of large images, chemometric tools for image and data processing and the ability to copy spectra and images into other Microsoft® Windows® applications for reporting.
Omnic Atlus 7.2 is fully compatible with Thermo's Omnic software suite. This suite provides advanced chemometrics, rigorous qualification tools and extensive spectral libraries for getting the most from infrared and Raman data.
