AMIRA is a 3D visualization and modeling system originally developed at the Department for Scientific Visualization of ZIB (Zuse Institute Berlin, Germany). INDEED, Visual concept Gmbh, a spin of ZIB, continue to develop and maintain the product by using Open Inventor by TGS. In 1999 INDEED and TGS entered a partnership that made TGS the exclusive world wide distributor for AMIRA. Since then, the two company have worked together to make AMIRA one of the most efficient and best-selling visualization solution in the world.

AMIRA can be described as a state-of-the-art visualization tool that allows the user to gain detailed insight into data. Graphics hardware is efficiently utilized to display large data sets at interactive speed. Other than that AMIRA also is a powerful automatic and interactive segmentation tools that support processing of 3D image data. Innovative, fast, and robust reconstruction algorithms make it easy to create polygonal models from segmented objects. Below are some of the reason why you should buy AMIRA:

Offers the convenience of working with many native file format including DICOM,
Analyze, Leica, Zeiss, BMP, TIFF, JPEG and many more.
Flexible probing and measuring of data
Create spectacular presentations by exporting movie files and high resolution images
Allows the flexibility of working with any platform from PCs to high-end graphics workstations and VR system
Easy to learn, easy to use graphical interface
Extensible: You can write your own modules and I/O routines using AMIRA Dev

The AMIRA software offers fascinating new opportunities to all users working with free 3-Dimensional data. With unattached interactive speed and visual quality, AMIRA allows the user to explore complex 3D data such as scalar and vector fields, polygon and finite element models, scattered data and much more Advanced visualization techniques such as efficient polygon viewing, iso-surfacing, oblique slicing and clipping, pseudo-coloring, direct volume rendering, flow visualization, and many more powerful modules are ready at your fingertips to unleash the full potential of your 3D data. By exploiting the latest graphic hardware, AMIRA can display even very large datasets at interactive speed.

In addition, AMIRA comes with numerous tools for data analysis. You can easily probe data, measure distance, regions, and volumes, and perform statistical analysis on multiple regions of interest. AMIRA provides the complete set of powerful tools for generation and post-processing of accurate 3D polygon model as well as finite element meshes for simulation, engineering, planning and teaching.

Furthermore, AMIRA offers excellent presentation support. You can easily create snapshots, export movie, and create truly three-dimension presentations by exploiting advanced stereoscopic display technology. All the functionality and more is available through AMIRA's user friendly interface, offering efficiency and ease-of-use to researchers, student, and all professionals working with 3D data.
