Metafer, MetaSystems' scanning and imaging software, controls microscope and accessory hardware to acquire digital images, and to assist the operator in the detection, classification, and counting of cells of human or other origin and other objects in microscopic specimen.

For over 30 years, Ikaros has defined the standard for modern workflows in cytogenetics. Now, with version 7, the proven software takes a major leap forward - featuring a fully redesigned interface and the integration of artificial intelligence driven by Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). These enhancements deliver a secure workflow that
streamlines the verification of automated result suggestions, pushing precision and innovation to new heights.

Chromosome analysis serves as a cornerstone in cytogenetics. And Ikaros has long provided a suite of algorithms aimed at facilitating the workflow and to reduce the number of interactions. Yet, despite these advancements, creating a karyogram remained to be a time-intensive task. Recent progress in deep learning has greatly improved the choices available, offering a more efficient approach.

We are proud to announce that Ikaros 7, a completely rebuilt version of our trusted karyogram creation software, will launch in the first half of 2025. This major update combines a brand-new foundation with the workflows you already know and rely on, ensuring a seamless transition while delivering significant improvements in performance, usability, and efficiency.
