Who "Laboratory Imaging" is
Laboratory Imaging (LIM) is a company with broad expertise in microscopy, image processing and analysis. We offer general purpose image processing and analysis systems as well as reliable customized solutions for scientific, biomedical, forensic and industrial imaging.
For many years now, our products have been labelled by the name “LUCIA”. This name actually reveals much about Laboratory Imaging since it is an acronym of the words “Laboratory Universal Computer Image Analysis”.
However, NIS-Elements, developed for Instruments Company, Nikon Corporation, with which we closely cooperate, remains the largest and the strongest of our product family.
Products for Forensic Examination
ToolScan
Tool/Toolmarks analysis
The ToolScan™ System by Laboratory Imaging represents a complete solution for forensic examination of tool marks. It is designed to provide live real time image and comfortable straightforward scanning of high resolution all in focus 2D and 3D images including photometric data. The 3D image is a “texture free” representation, called digital silicone casting. It removes all material-specific lights and shades and emphasizes the shape and height profile. Images can be saved into the database and shared via network. A full set of comparison functions is at hand for precise matching.
TrasoScan
Footprints analysis
TrasoScan™ is a versatile system for examination of shoeprints, fingerprints, documents and other flat surfaces. Shoe soles and objects up to 24 cm of height can be scanned too using a close up lens.
