June 23, 2005 — JMAR Technologies Inc. announced it has installed a Beta model of its new Scanning Computer Aided Microscopy (CAM) system at the Microscopy Imaging Center in the College of Medicine at the University of Vermont to evaluate its applications in thick tissue pathology research and studies of whole animal models.
The new Scanning CAM system is intended to provide an open viewing area to accommodate large or thick samples. Software developed by JMAR converts the high-magnification scanned images into a low magnification mosaic for viewing at the macro scale with the ability to zoom into areas of interest at high magnification. Computer Aided Microscopy controls allow the operator to dynamically vary the magnification, while selecting any area of interest in the displayed mosaic image at magnifications up to 3100X.
