More about
Features
The
TiVi600
system comprises a Canon system camera with Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX flash and a lap-top computer. The compact design
makes it truly portable and the complete system can easily be moved between
laboratories or from the laboratory to the work place for on-site examination of
skin microvascular events.
The
TiVi600
system automatically
captures up to 9999 images in a sequence with a maximal frequency of
12 images per minute. Since each image is
captured instantaneously, temporal variations in the microcirculation cannot be
misinterpreted as heterogeneity in RBC concentration over a skin surface.
Each
image is displayed as a two-dimensional colour map.
Each pixel in an image is represented by a numerical value corresponding to the
RBC concentration at the actual skin site. These values are used for further
analysis of image data.
An
overview of the entire sequence of images can easily be attained by use of the
Manual or Automatic Step
Through function.
A user
controlled Mask automatically derives regions of
low or high blood concentration throughout the entire sequence of images.
Statistical
analysis can be
performed on a single image or on the entire sequence of images in batch-mode.
High and low RBC concentration areas in the images can be automatically
displayed and analyzed individually or in batch-mode.
In
order to get a quick overview of microvascular events recorded over an extended
period of time, the sequence of images can be played back as a
time-compressed video-clip. This is a useful
option for revealing features of the part of the image sequence that is to be
further processed and analyzed.
Integrated Wizards assist in the image analysis to
increse the productivity in batch mode operation.
Features
for correction of image alignment makes it possible
to analyze a sequence of images in batch mode even if the skin test area shifts
in position during the experiment.
The
captured images or derived image data can easily be
exported to other software packages for further statistical analysis and
presentation.
