What’s new

Easy access to the latest updates

Staying informed is now easier than ever. You’ll receive inplatform notifications about new updates, and a direct link in the user interface will take you straight to the Visiopharm homepage for product news and release information.

Review feature: Mark images as reviewed

We’re introducing a new Review feature. APPs can now automatically assign a reviewer using an output variable, and the reviewer information is clearly displayed in both the database and details windows. This makes the review process more transparent.

Improved drawing of label overlays – now with a visible eraser

The eraser tool for labels is now fully visible, making it simple to see exactly what area you’re adjusting. This improvement brings greater precision and confidence to your drawing workflow.

Phenoplex Guided Workflow: Persistent neighborhood data

Multifile OME.TIFF images used by 10X Genomics now load and navigate significantly faster thanks to parallelized file reading, resulting in smoother and more responsive exploration of large datasets.

Faster image reading and navigation

Your nearest neighbor distances and counts now persist across sessions. Previously, this data had to be recalculated each time you reopened the guided workflow. Now, previously analyzed neighborhood data loads automatically, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Export label overlays compatible with 10X Genomics software

It is now possible to use Visiopharm’s AI analysis tools to segment cells and use the segmentation as an input to the 10X Genomics Xenium platform for single cell spatial insights. All label objects can be exported to a supported GeoJSON format.

See queue configuration at a glance

It’s now easy to check whether your queue is configured as a service or a process. The dialog title updates automatically based on registry configuration, giving you immediate clarity. The title of the dialog changes based on queue configuration in the registry. When configured as service the dialog will show “… (as service)”, and when configured as process the dialog will show “… (as process)”.

GPU Support

Please be aware that this 2026.02.1 release is the last one supporting the older Nvidia GPU architecture Pascal with cards like GTX 1070. This is due to Nvidia marking Pascal as end-of-life already in October 2025.

With the next planned Release (late summer 2026) the new Nvidia GPU architectures Hopper and Blackwell will be supported with cards like RTX 5070.

If you are in doubt which architecture your GPU has you can try to run a command prompt and use following command:
nvidia-smi -q | findstr Architecture

General

The default label opacity has changed to 70%, improving visibility of underlying images. Color profiles for specific image color calibration are available for several formats. It is now possible to enable/disable usage of color profiles instead of using them by default when available.
