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
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

• Do you have images coming in from multiple sources?
• Long term storage burden growing incessantly?
• Bulky files making your applications lag?
• Flawed compression loosing actionable information?
