Monday 04th of February 2008

There is no other German city with such a wide offer of office space. Still, we had to do some office sight seeing tours until we decided in favor of a very special office in Berlin-Mitte.

Since February 2008, we reside now in a former manufactury building from the mid-nineteenth century. Tastefully reconstructed, it has been declared as historical monument.

Important for us, nearby there are the institutes of Charité-Universitätsmedizin and of the Humboldt University. This helps us to use the so called “short ways” for collaboration. Besides that, we are now present in a very central spot of Berlin for our customers.

Wednesday 05th of December 2007

An alpha release of the new version 2.0 of the arivis Browser has been delivered to selected customers and partners. Large functional extensions as the support for up to 5 dimensional data sets, a revised plug-in handling (including online update support) and a completely revamped user interface make the arivis Browser even more the number one choice for handling large, multi dimensional image data.

Are you interested to try out our prerelease software as well? Please contact our software support.

arivis is one of the partners in the research project "3D Tissue Screen". This project is founded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the 3rd round of the Biophotonics program.

Together with our project partners from science and industry we explore new concepts and methods for a light microscopic characterization of complex dynamic processes in and between cells in their native, three dimensional context.

Our task is the design of a software system for an adaptive microscope control. This system should increase the ease of controlling microscoping systems and establish new possibilities for long time monitoring of biological objects.

Sunday 28th of January 2007

arivis and TILL Photonics GmbH, Munich, established a close strategic partnership.

TILL photonics develops and sells innovative microscope systems and microscope equipment. The TILL iMIC family consists of fully motorized microscopes, ideally suited for software controlled, automated screening, laser scanning and PC-based microscopy.

The partners will co-operatr in the development of an integrated microscopy platform basing on iMic microscopes and the arivis den arivis Browser software system. Both partners are sure to create a new microscopy system with unique features by connecting their products.

Tuesday 05th of December 2006

Mit dem arivis WebView arivis offers the possibility to present image data of almost any size and with up to 5 dimensions in the internet and to work on these data. Thus, arivis WebView is interesting for many different fields of application - from medical applications as virtual pathology to high resolution visualizations of works of art for auction houses and museums to tourism marketing applications

In all applications arivis WebView is is able to fit in any existing workflow. Because the arivis WebView server can work on the image data natively, these data can be used locally with the arivis Browser or the arivis Platform at the same time. Archiving and the Search on existing data sets is very easy. Publishing data sets in the arivis WebView is just copying or linking the image dataset.

Beside the navigation on the image data arivis WebView provides some tools for selection and annotation of areas and therefore can be used optimal for a shared work on very large image data.

A demonstration version of arivis WebView including some image data sets can be found at http://www.arivis.com/webview/. For technical details or licensing and pricing information, please contact our support division.

Thursday 26th of October 2006

arivis officially released Version 1.0 of the arivis ImageCore.

Beside bug fixes new features were integrated in close co-operation with our Beta testers. So, annotations can be managed by the arivis ImageCore. Furthermore the product includes an integrated solution for the management of undo steps.

arivis licenses the arivis ImageCore to partners, implementing their own applications on top of our proven data management for large image data.

With the arivis Viewer, arivis wants to access new markets. The intention is to evaluate the possibilities of panoramic pictures as instrument of tourism marketing. If you are interested in developing innovative applications and marketing concepts together with us based on the arivis Viewer, please contact our sales department.

The arivis Viewer is a visualization software for the performance-optimized SIS-data format. With it, you are able to display any time and everywhere image data sets of any size, be it 10GB, 100GB or 300GB. Navigation in however large, multi-dimensional image data – here lies the strength of the arivis Viewer. Basing on the technology of the arivis ImageCore, the emphasis here lies on the pure movement within the image data. The application was developed in co-operation with the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Aerospace Center – DLR) for the marketing of high resolution panoramas. It is platform independently available and can be easily adapted to individual needs.

Tuesday 04th of July 2006

The arivis ImageCore is now being Beta-tested. With the ImageCore, arivis provides all interested parties with an efficient library for the performant administration of very large, multi-dimensional image data, for the first time.

The arivis ImageCore administrates image data of any size with up to 5 dimensions. Because of the simple and logical interface of the library, it can be integrated into existing software systems very quickly. Thus, arbitrary applications can be extended by the facility to work with very large image data very easy and cost savingly.

For details on the beta test, please contact our Software-Support.

Monday 05th of June 2006

With Miltenyi Biotec GmbH arivis could win a further strategic application partner. Basing on the platform of the arivis Browser new specialized applications within a pharmaceutical context are realized together.

The first project together is the implementation of a browser-module for visual object classification. This module shall be used for the time-critical calibration of filling stations. Special emphasis during the implementation lies therefore on a high processing speed as well as easy handling of the whole system. Moreover, the inexpensive integration into existing work sequences is secured by the use of standard hardware such as flat bed scanners.

Thursday 06th of April 2006

The Fraunhofer-Institute for applied information technology (FIT) and arivis have agreed on a co-operation for the further development of a trainable image analysis-software. The Software system for trainable image analysis developed by FIT will be integrated into the arivis Platform. In this co-operation, an efficient system for the high-performance image analysis shall be created.

Friday 16th of September 2005

arivis shows its products at the BioTechnica 2005. We will use the fair to present our new product - the arivis Platform. The arivis Platform is a framework for data acquisition, visualization and analysis. Main goal of this system is the joint management of different data from different sources in one single experiment. Until now, different data were managed separately one after another. Using the arivis Platform data can be visualized connected and overlaid. Therefore connections and resations between different data can be easily shown and analyzed. Any data handling is made in real time and parameter changes are visualized instantly.

We hope for your interest and would be pleased to meet you at our stand. Our stand is situated on the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern joint booth (Hall 2, Stand B18). For more intense talks please make an appointment in advance (Tel. +49 381 461393-0 or mail info@arivis.com).

Thursday 08th of September 2005

The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt - DLR) and arivis have agreed on a co-operation in the field of large image data. At the DLR in Berlin-Adlershof, great experience exists in the development of cameras for satellite photography. These can take pictures from a large distance with extremely high resolution. One of these cameras, the DLR has modified for the use as a panorama camera. One panorama picture produces between 1 and 5 GByte of data. arivis provides the DLR with the arivis Viewer, developed on the basis of the arivis Browser, to enable a sensible use of the complete data sets. The co-operation aims at offering high-resolution panoramic views of sights and special view points as elements of marketing concepts.

Saturday 20th of August 2005

This year, the Dreiländerkonferenz (three nations conference) for electron microscopy takes place in Davos. For demonstration purposes, we developed a simulation of some microscope settings on the basis of our new product - the arivis Platform - for the first time. The aim is to show cost saving possibilities for the training of students. Mr Götze will give a presentation on this on Tuesday Aug. 30, 2005 in the Diva research group. Simulations of this kind are also feasible for other systems.

Wednesday 25th of May 2005

arivis is moving. On May, 25, we move into our new premises near the Universitätsplatz, Rostock. They are located on the top floor of the former Sparkasse at Schwaansche Straße. We are very happy, that we will work from now on in this building, closely connected with Rostock´s history, with a view to the old wall grounds.
The town house was constructed in 1880 in the neo-renaissance style as new domicile for the city´s savings bank (Stadtsparkasse). The plans were designed by construction inspector Fritz Saniter, who also bought the property. Before, he was in charge of the reconstruction of the wall grounds, in the course of which the rose garden (Rosengarten) was installed, iniciated by the association for city adornment.
Opposite the town house, the Friedrich-Franz-Knabenschule (now the Große Stadtschule) is situated still today. The construction of this school was started in 1862 financed by the Stadtsparkasse.¹ Here, many famous personalities of Rostock started their careers, e.g. the Kossel brothers. One of them continued the fathers shipping company and lived in a flat of the town house, the eldest - Albrecht Kossel - was as a biochemist Professor of medicine in Berlin, Marburg and Heidelberg. In 1910, he received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his works on nucleic acids.² "Hermann Heinrich Kossel, the youngest child of the ship owner and royal prussian consul, worked as a medic, among other, at the institute for infectional deseases headed by Robert Koch. Here, he started his research on the serum therapy of diphtheria and worked closely together with Emil von Behring and Paul Ehrlich. Due to his scientific work at the institute, he was appointed Professor in 1898".³ Our beautiful time at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Graphical Dataprocessing being over and gone now, we are very glad to inhabit this very buildung as new hotbed for our own ideas.
