Nion Swift is a tool especially designed for scientists who use microscopes and similar devices. Not only does the application help them see what they’re looking at, but it also helps understand the data right away.

The app was originally created for Nion electron microscopes, which is reflected in its name. However, it's capable of handling complex data from electron microscopes and is versatile enough to work just as well with smaller datasets.

You’re probably dealing with a lot of data, so the last thing you want is to spend time learning how to use an app’s interface. You will be happy to learn that the program comes with an intuitive layout that features a well-organized toolbar and a data panel.

When it comes to complex data, the best way to communicate and understand it is via visuals, like graphs and markers. You can add various shapes, like lines, circles and rectangles to highlight important findings in an image.

You and your team may not have an issue understanding the data and findings. On the other hand, if you want to present the data, highlighting can help your peers see the key results easier. It can be a way to direct your audience to the relevant information.

The program handles various types of scientific data, including, but not limited to microscope images, plots and other complex multi-dimensional data. You can make various settings change and tweak parameters in real time and view the effects immediately.

Nion Swift provides an intuitive interface for everyday use. However, if you want to have more control or perhaps want to automate some repetitive tasks, then you can do so with Python scripts. The app includes vast documentation on how to script with Python, so don’t hesitate to check it out.
