Mira MX showing 1, 2, and 3-D visualization, measurement, and analysis.
Introducing Mira MX™
Some 20 years ago, we started developing software for astronomy and space physics research — fields where every photon matters and where the CCD sensors widely used today were pushed to their performance limits in detecting and analyzing the weakest signals amidst bright, noisy backgrounds. At the same time, sensors were getting larger, faster than PC's were gaining processing power. In meeting those challenges, we also put a premium on providing expert tools that were fast, as well as easy to learn and use so that the user could maximally exploit large amounts of data efficiently. The discipline and expertise we acquired in those early years is unmatched in the image processing business. These benefits are biology, materials science, and reconnaissance, we combined our unique expertise with to features and procedures.
Standard features include a versatile 1-d Data Fitting package, an extensive collection of image calibration, filtering, and processing tools, precision image registration, more than 20 methods for merging and combining image stacks, unparalleled animation and sequencing of images and plot data, and a rich suite of image quantification tools.
Note: Mira MX Ultimate Edition combines Mira MX and all optional modules at a discounted price. Mira MX UE also is required for use on the 64-bit Vista operating system.
Key Features
- Mira's outstanding GUI puts advanced tools where you expect them, freeing you to think about science, not using software.
- Utilize Mira’s superior visualization and analysis tools to get more from image data and numerical simulations.
- Realize complex data reduction strategies using simplified, intuitive commands and procedures.
- Measure science-grade coordinates, distance, angles, FWHM, statistics, magnitudes, and more, in image units and FITS World Coordinates.
- Work with TIFF, FITS, BMP, JPG, and other standard image formats using 8 to 64 bit data and 24 bit color.
- Developed with scientists & engineers in the field to work the way you think about processes and procedures.
- Optimized graphics and numerics help Mira keep pace with your thought process, boosting your productivity & creativity. Mira MX works effortlessly and fluidly with large images or many images.
- With more tools than the competition, Mira MX makes it easier to get more from your data.
- Only Mira MX provides a rich visual environment for interactive and batch processing that is tightly integrated with its scripting environment.
- Unlike its competitors, Mira MX does not use a dongle or a network-locked license that can stop your work or get in the way of your productivity.
