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.

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.
