iC Vision is a user-friendly yet powerful software that empowers scientists to capture and analyze high-resolution images from EasyViewer™. It provides unique experimental insights into particle, crystal, and droplet systems previously unavailable.
Built on an open innovation platform, iC Vision offers advanced analytics that monitor process changes, quantify particle size and shape, and measure specific particle attributes—all in real time. Data collected through iC Vision seamlessly integrates with other iC applications for comprehensive experimental capture, consolidation, and control.
An intuitive interface with intelligent integrated algorithms makes capturing and analyzing high-resolution EasyViewer images simple and efficient.
Smart controls enable unattended operation. One Click™ tools highlight interesting images, consolidate data streams, and automatically build reports. iC Vision is designed to boost the productivity of every scientist.
Monitor process changes or quantify particle size and shape with customized autofocus, auto-lighting, and autosave "best image" algorithms. EasyViewer and the robust iC Vision software use these algorithms to ensure researchers consistently record clear, high-resolution photos of significant events, even when working remotely.
Image2Chords™ is an optional module for iC Vision that converts high-resolution EasyViewer images into precise chord length distributions (CLDs), trends, and statistics used to confidently characterize particle mechanisms such as nucleation, growth, dissolution, breakage, and morphology changes.
EasyViewer with Image2Chords simplifies particle process development by providing an intuitive platform for simultaneous imaging and CLD analysis within a single probe. All users can collect high-quality data and efficiently transform it into actionable insights, enabling faster and easier decision-making.
The iC software suite streamlines gathering all experimental data in the process lab through excellent usability and full automation. For quick and thorough experimental analysis, iC Vision seamlessly interfaces with iControl and other iC applications to ensure all pertinent data is consolidated in real time.
iC Vision is a part of the iC Software Suite—a comprehensive collection of experimental analysis and control applications supporting METTLER TOLEDO AutoChem’s best-in-class instruments. The iC Suite follows an approach similar to Microsoft Office, with each product tailored to its specific technology requirements, while providing a consistent, intuitive user experience and seamless data exchange.
The iC Software Suite integrates the entire experimental workflow, making it simple to visualize, interpret, and report results. This unified platform supports lab-to-plant applications across spectroscopy, particle system characterization, precise reactor control, and calorimetry.
Software Care is a subscription-based software maintenance plan ensures subscribers always have access to the latest software versions while reducing costs over the lifetime of their instruments.
The standard Software Care plan includes iC software maintenance. For advanced enterprise-level features, please contact a representative to learn more about the iC Site License.
Yes, in order to configure and collect images using an EasyViewer instrument, the instrument must be connected to a computer running the iC Vision software.
Yes, additional copies of iC Vision software are available for purchase. Instrument licenses allow full control and analysis of data from EasyViewer instruments. Office licenses of iC Vision are also available for only analysis and reporting of completed experiments at a discounted price.
iC Vision experiment trend data can be copied and pasted into Excel, or exported to the user in images (JPG or PNG files) or movie files (AVI format). Pinned images with notes can also be directly exported into a Microsoft PowerPoint file.
For automatic export of data, iC Data Center can be used to capture and process completed experiments for easy ingestion by other applications like electronic lab notebooks or scientific data management systems.
All software in the iC Suite of software can easily share data in real-time. Trends from one iC or iControl application can be added to iC Vision (and vice versa) at any time and will dynamically update. Data from third party applications can also be shown in the iC Vision trend viewer by using the iC data share or iC OPC UA utilities.
iC Vision will run on Microsoft Windows and although it is compatible with most mid- to high-performance laptops or workstations, an independent graphics card is recommended for optimal viewing. Please see the iC Vision datasheet for specific requirements.
Stay up-to-date by ensuring that your iC Software is covered by a Software Care subscription. Users with a Software Care subscription will be proactively notified by email of any new releases and will have access to the downloads and licenses for any new versions released during their contract term.
iC software maintenance is included in the Software Care Standard offering. For additional enterprise-level features ask your METTLER TOLEDO representative about an iC Site License.
