This sort of thing gets discussed on the NIH-Image listserver, even though
that is not quite the point of the list!  The address for subscriptions is
posted below.  However, the best way to evaluate these systems is with
hands-on demos.  All the manufacturers will be happy to set you up with
something.  NIH-Image is, of course, free so no demo is necessary - I'd
just download it and see if it can do what you want to do!!
