Note about the scanners that we sell: Scanners sold by Regent Instruments are tested and calibrated for greater precision. All of our scanners come with software programs, some for text recognition (OCR), others for image editing and general scanning. Scanners sold by Regent Instruments are tested for their image quality and calibrated to produce accurate measurements. These scanners have been tested on roots to eliminate the problem of shadowing. The root positioning system has been designed specifically for the scanners we sell and may not work on other models.

Recommended computer configuration
|
|
Image analysis programs are extremely demanding on computer resources (more than a word processor for example), so it is a bad idea to use an old computer for this type of application. Most computers sold today have the minimal power to run WinRHIZO. Although a minimum configuration can work, you will gain a lot in productivity by adding some little extras.
- Processor: Pentium III or IV (or equivalent) or faster. It is the component that is the most critical for WinRHIZO productivity. It is never too fast.
- Memory (RAM): 64 MBytes minimum. 128 MB is okay, but 256 MB to 1 GB will be appreciated especially when analysing many, large or color images. It is important to avoid using virtual memory which slows down the analysis speed by factors of 1000 or more. Virtual memory is dedicated space on a hard disk that is used as temporary holder when there is not enough RAM. When it is used, you can hear the hard disk access noise frequently during the analysis. During its use, time is wasted in transfering RAM content to and from the hard disk rather than analysing the image.
- Screen: A large screen (17” or +) is recommended. You spend less time scrolling to view the images and their analysis with a large monitor. A portrait mode screen is better adapted than a landscape one for analysing whole tube images with the TRON MF version.
- Video card: A good 2D video card with 32 or 64 MBytes of video RAM is recommended. The larger the screen the larger must be the video RAM to display all the original images colors. No need for 3D acceleration.
- Hard disk: This component is not important as images are not kept after analysis. If you want to keep the images you should look for a backup system like a CD or DVD writer which can store for long term large quantities of data at a lower cost.
- Operating system: WinRHIZO can run under Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista (32 bits).
