Oxford Instruments launches Imaris 11: boosting research productivity with clear, workflow-driven image analysis

2025-12-01 09:00 Last Updated At:17:35

LONDON, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford Instruments announces the release of Imaris 11, the latest generation of its industry-leading 3D/4D microscopy image visualisation and analysis software. The new version introduces an intuitive Workflow system, enhanced batch processing, and advanced tools for object detection and data exploration—designed to help researchers across the region achieve faster, more reproducible, and higher-quality insights.

Imaris 11 supports the rapidly expanding life science and biotechnology ecosystems in Southeast Asia by enabling streamlined data analysis, improved collaboration, and robust experimental reproducibility.

Clear, guided workflows to accelerate research

At the heart of Imaris 11 is the introduction of Workflows, a step-by-step protocol system that enables users to create, save, and share image analysis processes directly within the software. Workflows streamline analysis by guiding users through each step, making them an invaluable tool for both new and experienced users. Workflows can be exported and imported between datasets or users, allowing for seamless collaboration and reproducibility.

In addition, Workflows can act as Batch protocols, automating complex analyses while also supporting manual intervention steps. This unique combination of automation and flexibility significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks, especially when processing large datasets.

New features that simplify complex analysis

  • Object detection inside surface-defined ROIs – Precisely identify Spots, Filaments, Cells, and more within user-defined regions
  • Automated channel mask creation – Use Surfaces and Spots as masks to generate targeted channels across datasets
  • Machine learning filters – Enhanced ML-based detection and classification for improved accuracy
  • Advanced batch processing – Combine automated analysis with manual intervention steps to maintain precision at scale

Improved visualisation and exploration and data exploration

Imaris 11 delivers powerful tools for consistent visualisation and cross-dataset comparisons:

  • Snapshots – Save multiple "Views" including channel settings and colour schemes, then batch-apply them across datasets for consistent presentation and fast quality checks
  • 1D & 2D Vantage – Compare analysis results across experimental groups to uncover patterns, differences, and correlations in complex studies

These features are particularly valuable for multi-sample experiments, high-content imaging workflows, clinical research, and industrial R&D.

Customer-centric innovation

"Imaris 11 is a game-changer for researchers," said Anna Paszulewicz, Imaris Product Manager at Oxford Instruments.

"By combining intuitive workflows with powerful automation and data exploration tools, we're making advanced microscopy image analysis more accessible, efficient, and insightful for research communities across the world."

Availability

Imaris 11 is available now.

Oracle collaborates with MyDIGITAL Corporation to help advance Malaysia's Digital Economy Blueprint and National 4IR Policy by equipping local talents with in-demand digital skills, strengthening the IT talent pipeline, and fostering a value-based, innovation-led economy.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and MyDIGITAL Corporation, a monitoring agency under the Ministry of Digital overseeing the implementation of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint and the National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Policy, today announced a collaboration to deliver skills training to 300,000 students and professionals across Malaysia, aiming to boost employability and support career growth by 2029. 

The collaboration with MyDIGITAL Corporation gives students and professionals access to digital training and foundational certifications to prepare them for future jobs. This includes over 200 hours of learning and certifications, with full structured learning paths, delivered over three years in technologies such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), OCI Generative AI, OCI Data Science, Oracle APEX, OCI DevOps, and OCI Security.

"Strong investment momentum in Malaysia's digital economy is reinforcing the country's ambition to become an AI Nation by 2030 and cementing its position as a leading digital innovation hub in Southeast Asia," said YB Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital, Malaysia. "MyDIGITAL Corporation's strategic skills development initiative with Oracle, alongside the Oracle Cloud Malaysia Region, will help build a high-caliber digital workforce while accelerating innovation and supporting Malaysia's long-term digital and economic growth. We continue to encourage greater provision of lifelong learning opportunities from both the public and private sectors to meet the rising demand for AI talent and strengthen Malaysia's competitiveness in the global digital economy."

The program will be delivered for free as a digital learning experience through Oracle MyLearn, Oracle's comprehensive training and enablement platform from Oracle University, used by millions of technology trainees around the world. It provides foundational cloud training, advancing to professional certifications and additional learning tailored to skill level and goals. Learners can earn badges alongside professional certifications, showcasing readiness for specialized roles and helping employers identify qualified candidates. This complements the existing free digital awareness and literacy modules available in Rakyat Digital that is powered by MyDIGITAL Corporation. To provide a seamless user experience, Oracle MyLearn will be integrated into Rakyat Digital by June 2026.

"By unifying every layer of the AI stack, Oracle helps organizations across industries harness AI innovations, transform operations, and build critical digital skills," said Royce Teoh, managing director, Oracle Malaysia.
