Workstation for fluorescence microscopy image analysis

A customer involved in molecular cell biology research contacted us to inquire about installing a workstation.

The main purpose of use will be to analyze fluorescence microscope images and create presentation materials, so the client is looking for 128GB of memory, two or more HDDs (SSDs), and a video card suitable for image analysis.
The software used is Fiji/ImageJ, GraphPad Prism, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and MATLAB, and the budget is within 100 million yen.
I have also heard that they plan to use other image analysis software such as IMARIS, Neurolucida, and ZEISS arivis.

Based on your requests, we have provided you with the following configuration:

CPU Intel Xeon W5-2455X 3.20GHz (3.0GHz at TB4.60) 12C/24T
memory Total 128GB DDR5 4800 REG ECC 32GB x 4
Storage 1 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe Gen4
Storage 2 4TB SSD S-ATA
Video NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB (DisplayPort x4)
network on board (1GbE x1 /10GbE x1)
Housing + power supply Middle tower type housing + 850W
OS Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit

We created a quote. Since we plan to use IMARIS, we considered a configuration based on the IMARIS machine provided by Tegsys.
IMARIS is an image analysis software and is also suitable for other software applications.

Workstation for microscope image analysis software "IMARIS"

The CPU and video card were determined based on the configuration that IMARIS would run on and the budget. IMARIS does not support GeForce, so a video card for a workstation is required. The RTX A4000 installed is a mid-range product, and has sufficient performance for drawing 2D images. Unless you are manipulating large-scale 3D models, this will not be a problem in most situations.
