Full-screen view gets improvements
Orbicule has released a major update to its microscopy software, Macnification 1.6. The tool allows scientists to organize, analyze and compare microscopic image captures. It utilizes Quick Look, Spotlight and QuickTime, and features a non-destructive workflow to protect original captures. New in v1.6 is full 64-bit support for use in Snow Leopard, and Grand Central Dispatch awareness to exploit all of the available processors on a given Mac.
The update further improves the full-screen view for better image analysis. Bugfixes and other small improvements have also been incorporated.
Macnification requires an Intel processor running Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. Ordering choices include a $79 student license, a $149 academic license, a $199 regular license and finally a $849 site license. The latter covers up to 10 Macs.
