What does our alumni say?

"After taking IPS’ course on Image-Pro, I now have the knowledge I need to get my job done quicker and more accurately." Janice Silva, Chemistry Department, Tufts University

"Part of our research involves acquiring and analyzing hundreds of images a day. IPS taught us new techniques for gathering and analyzing our images. It saved us several man-hours of work per day." Sally Beech, Cytology Research Specialist, Matritech, Inc.

"IPS furnished our staff with in-depth knowledge about image analysis techniques and how to apply them to our application." Nan Roche, Lab Manager, Cell Regulation and Carcinogenesis, National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Health

Image-Pro (A.S.L.)

Application Specific Labs (A.S.L.) are one-day instructional classes that will teach you application specific techniques on how to process and analyze your samples.

By utilizing our Feasibility Lab, you will have a wide variety of optics and microscopes available to image your specific samples. First, we will establish the appropriate lighting, magnification, and imaging discipline. Then, we will determine which processing tool(s), measurements, and analysis methods are required to obtain your results. Once the technique is finally perfected, we will help you write a step-by-step procedure to get the results you will need. This is a valuable tool for anyone who routinely analyzes images. You will be able to hand this procedure to a novice and they will be able to produce the same results as the experienced user.

This course is for new and experienced users of Image-Pro. So, if you have recently purchased an imaging system or just want to improve your knowledge of image analysis techniques, then this lab training is for you.

The cost is $499.00 per procedure development either on-site or at our facility in North Reading Massachusetts.

You can register on-line, by fax at 978 276-0095 or by phone at 978 276-0094 x 112. We accept MasterCard or Visa, company purchase orders or checks.

Image-Pro

Who Should Take This Course?

This two day course is designed for researchers, engineers and technicians working in the areas of life science research, industrial testing and other areas of scientific investigation. A technical background in imaging is not required to complete this course. You must, however, have a basic level of proficiency in computer skills, particularly with Microsoft Windows. Our classroom training class is for new users of Image-Pro software. This course covers all the functions and capabilities of the software. Each student works at a computer so that you can follow along and perform exercises on your own. The class, limited to four students gives you the one-on-one attention required to learn about image analysis software. The cost is $995.00 per person, which includes two full days of training at our facility in North Reading, MA.

You can register on-line, by fax or by phone simply select the date you want to attend and provide us with the names of attendees. We accept MasterCard or Visa, company purchase orders or checks.
