- Description
- The IM5 file format is associated with Visilog, an advanced image processing and analysis software primarily used in scientific, industrial, and medical applications. It is designed to store image data, which may include raw images captured by various imaging devices or processed images that have undergone analysis or manipulation within the Visilog environment. The IM5 format is specifically tailored to preserve the high-quality and detailed information required for thorough analysis, making it suitable for applications that demand precision, such as materials science, biological research, and quality control processes. Additionally, the format supports metadata, which can contain information about the image acquisition parameters, processing steps, and analysis results, facilitating comprehensive documentation and reproducibility of scientific experiments.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
