MBF Bioscience: Biolucida Cloud Image Archive
At Neuroscience, MBF Bioscience presented Biolucida Cloud, a web-based image archiving and management system.
Jose Maldonado, Staff Scientist, Research Engineer, Sales, talked to M&A Editor Dr Julian Heath about Biolucida Cloud. Scroll down to watch the video.
When you generate microscope images on a regular basis, organizing, accessing and sharing them can be time consuming at best and impossible at worst. Biolucida Cloud streamlines this process by allowing you and your colleagues to quickly view any image over the Internet. Your microscope images can now be well-organized digital resources that are ready to be viewed and analyzed by you and your colleagues anytime, anywhere. View, manage, and store virtual slides, 3D confocal image stacks and 2D images. 3D virtual slides, which can be very large files, are easily stored in Biolucida Cloud so you can view any region of your tissue, at any depth, at any magnification, anywhere in the world.
Open an image in the Biolucida Cloud with Neurolucida or Stereo Investigator and trace neurons or perform stereology from anywhere – in a lab, at an institution or even at home. Save it in Biolucida Cloud and have an off-site colleague check your data or perform further analysis. By taking advantage of cloud computing you can now take your research anywhere there is internet access. Biolucida Cloud can be set up for a lab, core facility, or an entire institution.
Benefits: Easily view any image anywhere there is an internet connection; Off-site colleagues can quickly access images in Biolucida Cloud directly in Stereo Investigator or Neurolucida to perform stereology or trace neurons; Create a permanent image library for future research; Safely store your microscope images; Organize images with tags to quickly find what you want; Use your favorite computer platform – PC and Mac versions available; Publish images in an on-line database for reference; Sharing your images and analyses among colleagues as well as other collaborators anywhere is now what the future holds for you.
