Amy,
I have been using Nikon's NIS Elements D imaging software for several years 
along with a Nikon DS-Fi1 digital camera to capture images of various 
histological slides, as well as small whole-mount specimens on a dissecting 
scope. I have been happy with its ease of use and the images that it captures. 
I have found it to be fairly user-friendly and easy to manipulate, at least for 
my purposes. You do have to calibrate it with your particular scope to take 
measurements, and I required some tech support to do so. There is a nice set of 
annotation and measurement tools including length, area, radius, counts, and 
angles. I have experienced minor trouble exporting data into Excel, but with 
some fussing I have been able to successfully create data files from 
measurements. I have used images and measurements in both teaching and 
research, and would recommend the software for basic image capturing and 
analysis.

    Hello,
    We used to use Image-Pro Premier to capture and analyze images. Does anyone
    use NIS Elements with Nikon to do image capture and analyze? How do you
    feel about it? If you used both of them, could you let me know what you
    think? We need to make a decision for a new purchase.

    Thank you,

    Amy
