Leica LAS Extended Annotation

Image processing and analysis application

Overview

LAS Extended Annoation is an optional module that when used with a Leica microscope and digital camera, allows text and graphical elements to be added directly to an image. This enables specific features to be highlighted and important information to be illustrated on areas of interest. The sophisticated annotation tools include lines, arrows, shapes, images, times and text which can be drawn as a separate layer upon an image so that the original file remains intact. By adding comments to each annotation and displaying this as an adjacent label, users can be sure that significant areas are emphasised. All annotations can be subsequently recalled or edited if necessary.

Key Features

  • LAS Extended Annotation module provides many benefits which include:
  • Fully integrated with microscope and digital camera control
  • Annotations can be copied as a group from one image to another and subsequently reused effectively as a template.
  • All annotations retain a relative size and position even when the original image is altered through zooming or scrolling.
  • An automatic save function is used so that overlayed annotations are immediately saved when an image is deselected and recalled instantly.
  • An intuitive gallery displays acquired images, which can be immediately selected for annotation.

LAS Extended Annotation Detailed Description

The sophisticated editing facilities allow annotations to be adjusted including size, colour and fonts, so that they can be fully customised to individual needs. Furthermore, annotations can be moved or rotated giving total flexibility in the positioning of all image data. The intuitive tools are so compelling that they provide complete control over even the smallest detail. For example, the line thickness and annotation colour can be chosen to easily contrast with the underlying image to ensure that all relevant detail is displayed clearly. All of these facilities ensure that the LAS Extended Annotation module meets the most meticulous expectations.
