Innovative Hardware Developers
AppFive can help you to bring your novel ideas to market faster. Our team of entrepreneurial application software developers have intimate knowledge of the most electron microscopy techniques and applications and could be the perfect complement to your current electronic and software development team.
There is a continued desire by electron microscopists and instrument manufacturers to increase the information obtained from samples being investigated using electron microscopes. The recent development of novel electron optical elements (aberration correctors etc.), detectors, sample holders and sample preparation equipment, have allowed electron microscopy groups and instrument manufacturers to take nanotechnology research to new limits. In-situ microscopy and sub-Angstrom microscopy are becoming popular buzzwords.
Maybe your company or your group is at this very moment working on an innovative new electron optical component, detector, sample holder, piece of sample prep equipment but has limited bandwidth and/or expertise to specify and develop the required software functionality and/or graphical user interface (GUI).
The AppFive team, uniquely combining electron microscopy market domain knowledge and software development capabilities, can be a partner for your internal R&D Team by providing a wide range of development services:
- Requirements collection/analysis
- Application workflow design
- Application user interface design
- Creation, implementation and optimization of algorithms
- Alpha-testing and assistance with beta-testing
- Preparation of design, installation and end-user documentation
- Application deployment
AppFive’s approach to developing applications is to integrate existing software with a thin integration layer. By avoiding a large, complex application platform, we can improve robustness and reduce time-to-market.
Our agile development methods lead to early working prototypes, which means getting (and giving) feedback earlier in the development process. We also use a wide range of software technologies, including C/C++, C#/.NET, COM, SQL, HTML, PHP, Java and JavaScript, so we can interface to virtually any software, and deliver your software using the optimal technology.
