From Anix to NotyLab

NotyLab grew from an earlier scientific image analysis project called Anix. The first version of Anix was developed around 2009 as a Windows application for researchers who needed accessible tools for microscopy image analysis, measurement, calibration, and visualization.

Anix was used in academic and research workflows, especially for SEM and TEM image analysis. It was also featured in a Persian university book published by Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences Press, focused on analyzing electron microscopy images using the Anix software suite.

The experience behind Anix shaped a broader vision: a modern scientific software platform that works across web and desktop environments and helps researchers move from raw scientific images to clear, reproducible, publication-ready outputs.

That vision became NotyLab.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make scientific software easier to use, more accessible, and more practical for researchers who need reliable analysis and clear visual results.

Make analysis easier

Reduce repetitive manual work in image analysis, calibration, measurement, and figure preparation.

Support reproducible workflows

Help researchers keep their settings, measurements, outputs, and figure preparation steps more consistent.

Prepare publication-ready results

Help users create clean figures, scale bars, labels, measurements, and visual outputs suitable for papers, reports, and presentations.

What We Build

NotyLab is being developed as a connected suite of scientific tools. Each product focuses on a specific workflow, while the platform keeps the experience consistent for researchers.

How We Think About Scientific Software

Good scientific software should help researchers work faster while keeping the analysis understandable, consistent, and under their control.

Scientific clarity first

NotyLab should make analysis steps, settings, and outputs easier to understand.

AI should assist, not hide the science

AI can help speed up workflows, but researchers should stay in control of important scientific decisions.

Designed for real research pressure

Researchers often work under publication deadlines, revision cycles, and large data workloads. NotyLab should reduce friction, not add complexity.

From raw image to final figure

Scientific work often continues beyond analysis. NotyLab helps connect measurement, visualization, layout, labeling, and export.

Working toward

Better image analysis workflows

Refining practical analysis workflows based on real research feedback and evolving scientific needs.

Planned

Smarter scale bar and calibration tools

Expanding calibration and scale bar tooling to make accurate figure preparation simpler.

Exploring

Scientific workspace for projects and files

Building a connected workspace experience for managing project files, assets, and outputs.

Working toward

More reproducible analysis history

Improving tracking of settings and workflow history to support reproducible scientific results.

Exploring

AI-assisted segmentation and measurement

Evaluating AI-assisted capabilities that accelerate workflows while preserving user control.

Planned

Publication-ready reporting and exports

Enhancing export and reporting options for manuscripts, lab reports, and presentations.

Working toward
