Arguscope's strengths in a nutshell:

• Default 3CCD RGB camera generates 512 x 512 pixel truecolor images (TIFF format) and/or movies (AVI format)
• Recording of 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, ... mosaics for recording of large areas
• Mosaic Tool for seamless XY-stitching of individual images into large mosaic images
• Automated correction of uneven illumination
• Live Image module (quick snapshots/movie recording)
• Autofocus
• Supports multiple sample carriers
• Scanning of either fixed grid positions or user-defined regions-of-interest
• Configurable scan protocols that allow for e.g. time-lapse and real-time movement experiments
• Instant access to user-defined scan protocols by means of templates
• Adjustable scan speed and acceleration for possible sample fragility
• Scan summary report in XML format
