Malvern Analyticalis pleased to announce the release of ISys 5.0, the latest version of the company’s chemical imaging analysis software. Rapidly becoming the industry standard for analyzing chemical imaging data, ISys is powerful and flexible, and ideal for use on a variety of analytical systems. From basic pre-processing to statistical analyses and pattern recognition algorithms, chemometric tools, and more recently domain (particle) analyses – ISys does it all with ease. ISys turns images to answers for a variety of chemical imaging techniques, providing one software platform that can be used to analyze many different kinds of data.
ISYS 5.0基于对第三方平台的强烈支持，旨在成为跨平台分析的行业标准。现在扩展了来自中红外和拉曼平台的映射和成像数据的能力，还包括近红外光谱范围。来自Kaiser，Horiba Jobin-Yvon，Renishaw，Witech，Varian，Thermo，Bruker，Perkinelmer以及化学映像映射和成像平台的数据都可以进口。也可以访问以革兰氏，MATLAB，ENVI，METAMORPH，多页TIFF和ASCII等通用格式的文件。例如，还可以导入其他非振动光谱成像数据平台 - 例如，EDAX X射线荧光和Horiba Jobin Yvon XGT文件格式。
Changes to the software licensing structure now enable users to optimize its implementation for their unique applications. Chemometrics, Image processing and Macros are now available as separate options, purchased in addition to a base license.
ISYS宏观功能已经扩展，为定制数据处理脚本创建了更完整的环境。完全定制和自动化的数据收集和处理步骤（例如QA/QC协议）可以通过标准ISYS窗口轻松实现。这项新功能大大简化了近红外化学成像的日常应用。
In answer to a key challenge in chemical image data analysis – how to get the most from the spatial dimension - ISys 5.0 substantially increases the suite of tools available for image analysis. An example of this is Particle Proximity Statistics, which provides quantitative characterization of the co-localization of different chemical species. A coating thickness tool permits the statistical analysis of coating heterogeneity, giving standard deviations, as well as minimum and maximum thicknesses.
These changes demonstrate the continued commitment by Malvern Panalytical to keep ISys at the forefront of chemical image analysis.
