Since 1986 MetaSystems has been designing and manufacturing systems for computerized automated microscopic imaging. From the very beginning, the close relationship to the end user has been an essential part of the MetaSystems philosophy. The following three decades have revealed that this was a successful strategy; from humble beginnings, MetaSystems has grown into a leading solution provider which still remains connected to its strong roots.
MetaSystems’ latest innovation, Neon, is a dynamic, modern imaging platform which reliably manages cases, images, and results from single workstation environments to large multi-user, multi-site installations. The Neon imaging platform ensures that all relevant information is accessible whenever needed.
Maybe you can find a solution to your imaging automation problem here on this web site. We recommend starting your journey on the application pages, if you are not familiar with our product portfolio. In case you are, it may be easier to go directly to the page for the product you actually look for. Should you feel lost, please feel free to contact us or the MetaSystems partner in your country.
We believe in communication being the first step towards innovative solutions!
Light microscopy analysis of diatom frustules is widely used in basic and applied research [...]. For image acquisition, we use a Metafer slide scanning system [...]. In position list
mode, a list of user-defined positions, spread arbitrarily over the slide, can be imaged. [...] The vertical position of objects can be determined by automatic creation of a focus map, i.e., based on interpolation between reference points, or by autofocusing at each position captured, or using a combination of both. [...] Our two-cycle microscopy and image analysis procedure starts with a low-resolution area scan [...]. The overlapping low-resolution images are stitched together to a virtual slide using the VSlide software [...]. For locating and selecting valves of interest, the low-resolution images [...] are processed by SHERPA. [...] We use the VSViewer software to import the position list provided by SHERPA [...] into the virtual slide [...]. The annotation function of the viewer enables to manually add positions of interest if some objects deemed relevant were missed by SHERPA [...]. This allows for combining (semi-)automated and manual selection of valves of interest. [...] The annotated virtual slide from step 5 contains the (X, Y) position data required for selectively imaging the valves of interest. [...]. Extending the size range reported for F. kerguelensis (quite substantially, by nearly 45% in the case of apical length) nicely illustrates the advantages of a (semi-)automated approach formicroscopic morphometry of diatom valves, primarily that it makes documenting and measuring large numbers of specimens feasible with moderate effort.

As with all previous ICRR International Congresses, ICRR 2019 provides a broad dialogue platform for those working within radiation research and related fields. The scientific programme will be designed to engage researchers across all disciplines and to facilitate the development of multidisciplinary collaboration and interaction.
The Congress 'Genetics of XXI Century' in Moscow, Russia (May 2019) has been one of the most important events for the professional international community of geneticists. Our partner company in Russia OOO MetaSystems considered it a good occasion to present the new camera CoolCube 4 connected to a state-of-the-art Neon system to the public.
N.N.Burdenko National Scientific and Practical Center for Neurosurgery is one of the first MetaSystems’ customers in Russia who implemented FISH on tissues into their daily practice ( in the late 90ies). Our partner in Russia, OOO MetaSystems therefore provides comprehensive support of all initiatives shown by the head of pathology lab and its staff.
