Volocity Visualization is designed to provide rapid, interactive, high resolution volume rendering of multi-channel 3D and 4D data sets. This Volocity product puts you in control of the way that you view your 3D data, offering a choice of rendering methods so that you can achieve the best results. A range of file formats can be imported from wide field and confocal microscopes, and snapshots and movies can be created quickly and easily to share and publish.
-
Explore and interact with your cells in 3D for a greater understanding
- Read a range of fluorescence z-stack images from widefield and confocal microscopes, and high content screening systems.
- Drag and drop your image files into the software to interactively explore in 3D
- Rotate, zoom and fly through rendered objects in real time, whilst simultaneously varying the contribution of each channel to the rendered view
- Choose from rendering options including solid surfaces, varying opacity and shadows. See how the three dimensions intersect at any point
- Explore structures and processes from any angle in fixed and dynamic experiments
- Navigate rendered images using a gamepad, which allows free flight around and through the volume, just like using a game console
- Save viewing states with the 3D Bookmark features so that you can easily compare multiple data sets using the same viewing parameters

Processor
The new quad core processors from Intel support the Intel 64-bit instruction set and offer excellent performance. For users with a more constrained budget, i7 processor would be a good choice. The Dell Precision T3640 is an example of such a system. Operating System Windows 7 Professional x64 is the 64 bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 10
Graphics
Purchase the fastest, high performance gaming graphics card, with at least 2GB video memory, currently available. From ATI the Radeon series are recommended, the NVIDIA equivalent is the GeForce series. Please ensure your system will provide sufficient power and cooling for this card. Consult your vendor for more information. Quadro and FireGL cards are adequate, but are not ideal for Volocity. Multiple graphics cards do not offer benefits to applications such as Volocity.
