SEM image colorization & enhancement

Colorize SEM images easily:

• Go from black and white to color in just a few clicks
• Objects are detected automatically and colorized by the software
• No need to create layers or play with transparency

Correct and enhance SEM images:

• smooth
• remove artefacts
• fix lighting
• adjust brightness and contrast

3D reconstruction from stereo pairs

• Switch from standard 2D images to “topographic” models
• Reconstruct a 3D model from two successive tilted scans of your sample in just a few seconds
• Obtain accurate height values from good quality stereo pairs

3D reconstruction from 4 images

• Upgrade your SEM images to 3D in seconds
• Generate a 3D model from 4 images obtained using a four-quadrant detector and visualize otherwise invisible details
• Achieve enhanced rendering by overlaying the combined SEM image on the 3D topography at a user-defined transparency level

3D rendering from single images

• Generate rough-draft 3D renderings from single SEM images
• Improve visual interpretation of the image (contrary to 3D reconstruction from stereo pairs, height values are not metrological in this case).

Create "3D" effects with EDS/EDX maps

• Build spectacular renderings associating EDS (EDX) maps or other spectral/compositional data with SEM images (or topography if available)
• Highlight surface properties & composition
• Access a wide range of rendering options (palettes, color mixing, transparency etc.)

FIB-SEM tomography

• Load, display and analyze focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy image series as 3D voxel cubes
• Associate tomography and chemical analysis
• Slice through the inside of your materials: choose segmentation and animation settings
• Produce 3D particle and grains statistics from your 3D voxel cubes

2D particle analysis

• Quickly identify and quantify features in virtually any SEM image
• Benefit from dedicated SEM-SE and SEM-BSE image segmentation & object detection
• Calculate over 70 different characteristics (area, perimeter, diameter etc.) and sort them into user-defined classes
• Generate statistics and create control charts, scatter plots, histograms etc.

Scale & measure features

• Set images to scale
• Accurately measure any feature directly on the image itself: lengths, areas, perimeters, angles etc.
• Extract and measure profiles and horizontal contours (cross-sections).

Correlative analysis

• Combine SEM images from different detectors (SE + BSE) or with data from other measurement instruments (AFM/SPMs, 3D optical microscopes) for correlative analysis
• Colocalize your SEM images with spectral analysis data (EDX, Cathodoluminescence…) and build impressive chemical maps
