Image Stitching Function

Stitch together up to 1,200 images to create a wide field-of-view at high-resolution

Joins images with high speed and quality

Capturing wide-field images at high-magnification can now be done effortlessly and at speeds over eight times faster than conventional software functions with KEYENCE's original image stitching algorithm. This function eliminates variations in brightness between images and errors in immuno-staining or fluorescence expression that typically affect images when creating XY mosaics.

Shading Adjustment

The image stitching function uses a shading canceller to cut uneven contrast resulting from uneven light intensity and lens aberration, allowing natural image linking.

High-speed mapping using XY coordinate information

The image stitching function links XY coordinate information with the image information shot by BIOREVO and performs high-speed mapping. KEYENCE's original image analysis algorithm realizes high-speed image processing that is over eight times faster than conventional image processing.

Automatic Range Setting for Image Stitching

By clicking only four locations on an image at the maximum coordinate positions of interest (top, right, bottom, left), the BZ-9000 can automatically determine the number of images needed to create a wide-view image [max. 30 (vertical) x 40 (horizontal): 1200 total]. With conventional systems, a wide-view range cannot be easily defined, usually resulting in the omission of certain sample locations.
