MicroCCD : Features
Integrated Microscopic Imaging and Processing
Compatible with Windows
TM
XP, and Vista, and 7
Supports any image size to the limit of system memory
Pan and zoom images, multiple windows
Document tabs for quick navigation of open images
Thumbnail and full-image previews for all image processing operations

Image stretching and scaling:
Quick-Stretch real-time contrast/brightness adjustment using the mouse
Changes to "screen stretch" do not affect contents of file
Convenient mouse-controlled stretch allows you to adjust min/max value or contrast/brightness
Stretch using sliders on image histogram with zoom capability
Automatic stretch settings
Permanently apply gamma, logarithm or linear stretching to an image
Advanced histogram specification (equalization)
Uniform, Straight-line, Exponential, Lognormal, Gaussian, and Rayleigh curves
User defined curve - paint your own curve with the mouse
General Image Processing Functions:
