Our review
Pros
  • Automated segmentation combines with editing, measurement and anatomical analysis.
  • Creates 3D models and supports virtual procedure planning and device positioning.
  • Python scripting, cloud case sharing and online 3D viewing support team workflows.
  • Segments and tracks cells in 2D and 3D, including multi-channel detection
  • Batch recipes and multi-well assay workflows support repeatable analysis
  • Apex can apply and export imported deep-learning models
Cons
  • Pricing requires a custom offer rather than a published standard price.
  • Cloud and desktop components mean capabilities depend on the selected workflow.
  • Some capabilities and medical-device versions vary by market and regulatory availability.
  • Subscription pricing requires a quote rather than published plan prices
  • Specialized biology recipes and expanded model tools depend on the tier
  • Its microscopy focus may not suit general-purpose image segmentation
