Where Big Image Data Comes Alive
Biolucida is leading the big data revolution by providing scientists and medical educators a cost effective and powerful solution to the many challenges it presents. Data sets that in the past have been too voluminous and complex for traditional systems, can now be easily managed with Biolucida.
MBF Bioscience and our Biolucida systems can help you with:
- Data from 2D/3D slide scanners, confocal Z-stacks, lightsheet whole brain images
- Data Storage and Management
- Data Access and Security
- Data Analysis and Visualization
Learn more about using Biolucida to view, store and share large image data for your specific application:
Medical Education EditionEnrich your medical education course with Biolucida — interactive learning management software developed in collaboration with leading medical educators. Biolucida takes the concept of virtual microscopy to the next level by providing educators a collaborative platform to manage, display, annotate, and navigate whole slide images. Reach more students efficiently by delivering dynamic and rich content accessible by hundreds of users simultaneously. |
Research EditionWhole-slide scanners, confocal and light sheet microscopes have the ability to create vast image sets that can be challenging to view and manage. They are often comprised of very large files, potentially reaching hundreds of gigabytes in size. These images, generated from a variety of microscopes and slide scanners that produce different file formats, cause compatibility issues in viewing, collaboration, and analysis. Biolucida solves these challenges. |
Publisher EditionWith Biolucida, scientific journals can publish entire high-resolution 2D and 3D image data sets in research papers. A wide variety of image data can be presented, including whole slide image series (virtual slides) from entire organs, 3D images of tissue cleared with CLARITY, iDISCO, and other clearing methods, 3D reconstructions of whole slide images, high-resolution image montages, and much more. |
