Why Alelso

Microscopy software shouldn’t slow your science down.

Vendor lock-in is over

Your camera, your microscope, your file formats — Alelso reads them all.

One tool, every domain

Cell counts in the morning, grain size in the afternoon — same workspace.

AI where it matters

Pre-trained segmentation models for cells, tissues, and microstructures — ready to use, fine-tunable on your data.

Built for regulated work

Audit trails, electronic signatures, validated workflows — when you need them. ---

Capabilities

Everything you need for serious image analysis.

1

Image acquisition & live view

Capture directly from your microscope. Real-time preview, focus stacking, multi-channel imaging.

2

Measurement & morphometry

Length, area, angle, particle count, shape descriptors. Calibrated, repeatable, exportable.

3

AI segmentation

Foundation models fine-tuned for biology and materials. Run on CPU or GPU, locally — your data never leaves the workstation.

4

Batch processing

Apply the same pipeline to thousands of images. Headless mode for overnight runs.

5

Reporting & export

One-click reports in PDF, DOCX, or CSV. Custom templates with your branding.

6

Open formats

Reads OME-TIFF, CZI, ND2, LIF, VSI, and standard image formats. No conversion, no data loss. ---

Use cases

One platform. Many disciplines.

Life Sciences

Quantify cells, count colonies, segment tissues, measure neurite outgrowth. Live-cell workflows and fixed-sample analysis in the same project.

Education & Core Facilities

Affordable site licenses. Same interface across teaching labs and research groups. Reproducible protocols students can share.

AI built for microscopy

Segmentation that actually works on your data.

Pre-trained models for cells, nuclei, tissues, and microstructures — ready in one click. Fine-tune on a handful of your own annotations and the model adapts to your imaging conditions. Everything runs locally — no uploads, no cloud, no compliance headaches.

  • [6] pre-trained models, covering biology and materials
  • Fine-tune in under [30] minutes on a standard GPU
  • ONNX runtime — works on CPU when GPU isn’t available
  • 100% on-device — your images stay yours

How it works

From sample to report — in four steps.

Step 1

Acquire or import

Connect your microscope or drop in existing images. Any format, any vendor.

Step 2

Analyze

Use built-in measurements or AI models. Save your pipeline as a protocol.

Step 3

Review & annotate

Quality-check results, add notes, flag outliers.

Step 4

Report

Export to PDF, DOCX, or CSV. Branded templates, ready for your PI or client. ---

Frequently asked questions.

Does Alelso work with my microscope?

Yes. Alelso is hardware-agnostic and supports cameras and microscopes from all major vendors, plus generic image formats.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Alelso runs entirely on your workstation. No uploads, no cloud processing.

Do I need a GPU?

No. AI models run on CPU. A GPU speeds up batch processing and fine-tuning.

Can I script or automate workflows?

Yes. Alelso exposes a Python API and supports headless batch runs.

Is there an academic discount?

Yes. Verified academic users get [X]% off all plans.

What about training and onboarding?

Professional and Compliance plans include onboarding sessions. Free webinars are available to all users.

Can I migrate from ImageJ, ZEN, or NIS-Elements?

Yes. Alelso imports common project formats and we provide migration guides for the major platforms. ---
