MODULAR MOBILE DIGITAL CAMERA
The Sinar m is a fully modular universal digital medium format
camera. It can be used with all existing or future Sinarback
digital backs. For sensors in the standard 35 mm format, mirror
reflex modules are available that permit the use of 35mm camera
lenses . In combination with the Sinarback 54, which has a
3.9 x 5.0 cm (1 17/32" x 1 31/32") sensor and a
resolution of more than 22 million pixels, exposures can also
be made with medium format camera lenses, practically without
focal length extensions. SINAR. Switzerland.

COLOCALIZATION MODULE
The Openlab module, specifically designed for colocalization,
provides a rapid tool for users to colocalize and analyze
fluorescent images. The module allows for the visualization
and quantification of colocalization in the samples labeled
with multiple fluorochromes. For any pair of images a user
selects, the module creates a scatter plot display of intensity
distribution and degree of colocalization. Statistical analysis
provides both whole image statistics and user-defined Region
of Interest statistics, including Pearson's Correlation and
Colocalization Coefficients. The degree of colocalization
can be displayed and saved as a binary mask for morphological
analysis. Statistical data can be exported to a spreadsheet
for analysis and scatter plot pictures can be exported for
use in presentations. IMPROVISIONS, INC. Lexington, MA.
