Leica introduces LAS Archive, a powerful application designed to give rapid and convenient access to digital images. Fully integrated with all Leica microscopes and digital cameras this versatile data management solution vastly improves the acquisition, processing, measurement and reporting of images. LAS Archive is a modular and intelligent environment with a unique Leica workflow interface that makes imaging quicker, easier and more logical than ever before. The Core edition uses an integrated archive to give rapid and convenient access to digital images and all microscope and camera data. LAS Archive Basic and Standard are more advanced, optional editions that build on the Core features to exactly match your needs.

LAS Archive can be used to combine images with text, numeric data, Boolean and keyword data fields as well as microscope information and camera parameters in individual records of a database. The content of a record can be easily defined by use of the Archive Design tool on the Setup workflow bar. With a focus on simplicity, the Archive Designer allows you to define hierarchical ‘levels’ by which data is grouped (e.g. Lab Name, Procedure, Customer Name, Experiment, Specimen Number, Result etc.). There is virtually no limit to the number of different fields you can specify or the volume of information you can store. Image thumbnails are saved in the database for rapid recall, while the original high-resolution images are held externally to the database.
