New Fiber Measurement App for Image-Pro Premier Software
Media Cybernetics announced a new fiber separation and measurement app for their Image-Pro Premier image analysis software. Researchers have been looking for better ways to automatically measure the lengths and widths of overlapping fibers and had to rely on manual processes to quantify the lengths of fibers. With the Image-Pro Premier Fiber Separation and Measurement App, it is possible to automatically measure and classify overlapping fibers with one click.
