SPOT Software

The Insight cameras come with SPOT Basic software included at no additional charge. The SPOT Basic application enables microscopists to create publication-quality pictures easily. The live image preview window is ideal for panning through slides and for fine focusing. Acquiring flawless images is as effortless as a single mouse click. After image capture, measurements, calibration marks, and other enhancements can be applied. Images can be dropped into a SPOT report for printing, or saved in several different file formats for future distribution. The SPOT Basic application provides all of the necessary tools for most imaging applications.

Additional software features can be found in the SPOT Advanced and SPOT Advanced Plus software modes. For more information about the different SPOT software modes available and their functionality, please see http://www.spotimaging.com/software/spotsoftwarecomparepc.html.

SPOT Advanced Software

For users that would like even more imaging tools, the Idea cameras are also compatible with the SPOT Advanced software, which includes macro scripting for automating routine tasks, custom taskbars for commonly used functions, image merging, and pre-configured image setups.

SPOT Advanced Plus Software

PC customers can also consider the SPOT Advanced Plus software, which includes peripheral device control and extended depth of focus capabilities.

Stage Micrometers

Stage micrometers allow you to calibrate your SPOT camera system so that accurate measurements can be added to your images.
