Core Metallography Analysis Modules

The material structure and applicable method determine which analysis module is required.

Microstructure Analysis

Grain Size, Phase Analysis and Banding modules support routine microstructure evaluation.

Inclusion Analysis

ASTM E45, ASTM E1122, DIN 50602, ISO 4967 and JIS G0555 workflows support inclusion analysis and documentation.

Cast Iron Analysis

Nodularity and Graphite Flake Analysis modules support foundry and cast iron evaluation.

Material Evaluation

Decarburization, Porosity and non-ferrous alloy analysis support SDAS, erosion evaluation and cuboid particle analysis where applicable.

General Image Analysis & Measurement Tools

Calibrated geometry, annotation, image capture and scale tools cover routine industrial inspection tasks.

Measurement Geometry

Linear Measurement, Angle, Radius, Circle, Area and Polygon tools support routine measurement work.

Documentation Tools

Annotation and Scale Bar tools support industrial inspection and laboratory documentation tasks.

Image Acquisition

Capture high-quality live images from supported industrial cameras with exposure, white balance and camera parameter control.

Calibration

Calibrate images using certified stage micrometers for accurate dimensional measurements and repeatable analysis.

Advanced Imaging Tools

Use these tools when one focal plane or field of view cannot record the complete feature, or when repeated images require the same processing.
