What is LUNA?
LUNA is the new dynamic web based front end for the Insight Software Suite® offering an unprecedented way to work with digital content.
Unprecedented? Why?
By focusing our development goals on improving the end-user experience we have built a better browser. We have built a tool which
end-users will enjoy using. They will easily find objects they are looking for BUT will also find objects they didn’t even know to look for…they will
discover, they will collaborate and they will LOVE what they see.
What can I do with LUNA?
- Seamlessly access high resolution images, audio, video, and text files
- Image Workspace detects screen resolution with emphasis on maintaining image aspect ratio for maximum display area
- Create Media Groups and Presentations

image in the Detail View where additional viewing tools and complete image data are available; click on View Source to launch the collection and view the
Media Group with additional viewing tools; or stay within the widget to scroll through all thumbnails)
