Why update to App Suite 3.5?

Dive even deeper with the in-depth wound healing analysis

We heard you and the team said, “Let’s do it!”. Now the powerful App Suite 3.5 software will automatically provide you with graphs showing “gap width (µm)” and “coverage area (%)” to the wound healing analysis, both in the software and the Excel export. Besides, changing or reversing analysis settings is much easier. You can choose to apply the current identification settings to entire or selected frames, and vice versa.

Keep your color, styling, and filter settings unified

This feature is one of your requests! Now, from the experimental setup to your excel spreadsheet, all the treatments will have the same color, style, or filter that you set for unified data presentation. With the advanced results exportation function, data reanalysis just became easier and more visual.

You decide which frames to export, or not

We all have experienced that sometimes exporting all time points is not necessary, and simply uses up our data storage space. Instead of exporting a whole movie, you can easily select the period of interest with the App Suite 3.5 software. It allows you to choose the frames or time points you want to export, and make every video customized to fit your purpose!

Direct export measurements from the Live View

Did you capture some really nice measurement data while exploring the Live View? With App Suite 3.5, you have the possibility to export the measurement data right away to an Excel sheet for future analysis. The exported information includes the data and plot for both optical thickness (µm) and distance along the line (µm).
