Artificial intelligence opens entirely new horizons for image analysis. In the latest versions of Ikaros, MetaSystems has implemented Deep Neural Network (DNN) based artificial intelligence that greatly facilitates the processing of metaphase images for karyotyping. MetaSystems is proud to announce that our innovative DNN-based technology has now received a patent entitled ‘Methods for Automated Chromosome Analysis’” (U.S. patent no. 10,991,098).

Researchers led by University of Milan dermatologist Raffaele Gianotti and pathologist Prof. Massimo Barberis, director of the Molecular Pathology Unit at Institute of European Oncology in Milan report evidence of early SARS-CoV-2 infection in an Italian patient published in the British Journal of Dermatology. The detection was achieved using the XRNA SARS-CoV-2 FISH probe and Metafer as the analysis system.

Wibu-Systems has disclosed several vulnerabilities in their software CodeMeter Runtime. This software is also used by our products for license management. Wibu-Systems has released an updated version of the CodeMeter Runtime which addresses these issues. We strongly advise you to install the new version 7.10b or higher.

With this advance notice, MetaSystems proudly announces the launch of its first product utilizing Deep Neural Networks (DNN) for image analysis. In one of the next versions of the outstanding karyotyping system Ikaros, artificial intelligence (AI) will be used to assign chromosomes automatically to their respective classes.

MetaSystems, a worldwide leader in microscopic imaging innovation, presented proof of concept results for Deep Learning - based pathogen classification on Gram stain slides.

As of late, freshmen studying for the Medical Degree in Linz, Austria are trained in the use of the Ikaros karyotyping system.

MetaSystems proudly announces the launch of the new ultra-high resolution cameras CoolCube4 and CoolCube4 TEC which are available for MetaSystems imaging devices from now on. The new CoolCube4 camera series encompasses 4 models of 1.1" CMOS cameras with resolutions of 4,096 x 3,000 pixels. Users can choose between two monochrome and two color models without active cooling (CoolCube4) or thermo-electrically cooled (CoolCube4 TEC).

Our Partner in Japan, Carl Zeiss Microscopy Co., Ltd (カールツァイスマイクロスコピー株式会社), recently published a Metafer brochure in Japanese language.

Neon represents the next generation of MetaSystems' imaging systems for microscopy. At the 10th European Chromosome Conference held in Strasbourg (France), 4. - 7. July 2015, an early version of Neon has been shown to the public for the first time. Read more about the new system on the Neon product page.
