Software

DeXel-Filtrate detects, measures and classifies particles, then validates the result against the selected OEM method.

Reporting

PDF reports, Excel export and customer-specific templates help laboratories document Technical Cleanliness results.

Accessories

System configuration can include objectives, calibration tools, camera integration, motion control and application-specific setup.

Upgrade to Complete Metallography

Begin with the Optical NLV particle-analysis platform, then add the required 50X and 100X objectives and DeXel-Metallography Expert software when the laboratory is ready to configure a complete metallography system. The microscope, camera, computer and motion system remain in place.
