Life Sciences are undergoing a rapid technological evolution, producing an ever-growing number of multidimensional data sets that you need to process, visualize, analyze, and present with an integrated set of efficient and accurate tools. amira® is the the leading software solution that satisfies even your most demanding needs to work with clinical or preclinical image data from CT, MR, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, optical or electron microscopy. It handles molecular models, vector and flow data, simulation data on finite element models, and all types of multidimensional image, vector, tensor, and geometry data.

Wherever multidimensional data needs to be visualized and explored, amira offers a rich set of powerful tools with an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface. The advanced visualization techniques provided in amira® allow you to gain detailed insight into your data. Automatic and interactive segmentation and modeling tools support flexible creation of 3D surfaces and finite element models for optimal visualization and simulation. Modern graphics hardware is efficiently utilized to display large datasets at interactive speed with unmatched image quality.

Selected feature sets:

  • Mesh: generation of finite element meshes from image data
  • Microscopy: microscopy-specific file formats, filament reconstruction tools
  • Skeletonization: extract neural and vascular networks from image data
  • Molecular: visualization of molecular models and trajectories
  • Developer: implement custom modules for amira in C++
  • Virtual Reality: enables stereo 3D visualization and virtual reality navigation
