Adaptive Image Compression
Higher compression than JPEG, fast throughput, no visible artifacts
Higher Quality, Faster Image Compression for Digital Pathology Applications
Faithful compression and decompression
JPEG has its limitations. Originally designed for consumer photography, serious drawbacks are manifest when employed with microscope imagery. In order to avoid block artifacts and "ringing" at sharp edges, JPEG must be run with a high quality setting, limiting the amount of compression that can be achieved.
The patented Protein Metrics compression algorithm is specifically designed for automated microscope and whole-slide imagery:
- Scales from completely lossless to very high compression
- Enables fast transfer and compact archiving
- Applicable to brightfield or fluorescence
1GB per second* - 10X faster than standard approaches
Higher quality compression is redundant without the practical consideration of speed to enable your workflows.
The Protein Metrics algorithm is multi threaded and highly parallelized. It runs at least 10x faster and produces no objectionable artifacts. Need more horsepower or to run in the cloud? Let us know.
With fast compression and smaller files:
- save $$ on storage and data transfer
- increase throughput of working with files
- open up new ways of working with your data

Image Management
Are you struggling with managing images from multiple sources? Are you concerned about rising storage costs and the impact of large image files on application performance? Do you worry about losing critical information due to aggressive compression techniques? If so, it's time to streamline your image workflows and unlock the full potential of your visual content.
